The Book of Awesome Women

The Book of Awesome Women

Boundary Breakers, Freedom Fighters, Sheroes and Female Firsts

Women hold up half the sky. They do! And on most days, do even more of the heavy lifting including childbearing and child-rearing after a long day at the office. Women have always been strong, true sheroes, albeit more often than not, they remained unacknowledged. As we shake off the last traces of a major patriarchal hangover, women are coming into their own and it is time to acknowledge the successful women of the world.

From the foremothers who blazed trails and broke barriers, to today’s women warriors from sports, science, cyberspace, city hall, the lecture hall, and the silver screen, The Book of Awesome Women paints 200 portraits of powerful and inspiring role models for women and girls poised to become super women of the future.

A few of the amazing women you’ll meet in the book:

  • Dian Fossey
  • Martina Navratilova
  • Sojourner Truth
  • Indira Ghandi
  • Aretha Franklin
  • Margaret Mead
  • Coretta Scott King
  • Georgia O’Keeffe
  • Jackie Joyner-Kersee
  • Joan Baez
  • Eleanor Roosevelt
  • Coco Chanel
  • Anita Hill
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners, Malala Yousafzai and Wangari Maathai

Becca Anderson credits her first grade teacher as a great inspiration.

Becca’s teacher side of her family led her to become a woman’s studies scholar and the author of The Book of Awesome Women.
