Product Information

The book is beautifully illustrated and the mini biographies of the black women is not too wordy so it's quite nice to read.

Perfect for enquiring young minds, these engaging non-fiction books approach subjects from biography to nature and science to history in a variety of interesting ways.

Readers will meet trailblazing women like Mary Blair, an American modernist painter who had a major influence on how color was used in early animated films, actor/inventor Hedy Lamar, environmental activist Wangari Maathai, architect Zaha Hadid, filmmaker Agnes Varda, and physicist Chien-Shiung Wu. The legends in this book span centuries and continents, but what they have in common is that each one has blazed a trail for generations to come. Based on her popular Instagram posts from Black History Month 2017 it features 40 biographies of African American women that helped shape history. Backgrounds are minimal, rendered mostly in pale shades, which leaves the focus on the women and helps ground them in history. Not just for girls, this is an inspiring book for any child as it shows how a determined nature, ambition and hard work can make important change in the world.
