‘An absolute must-have for every young person’s bookshelf’ HUFFINGTON POST

The eagerly anticipated follow up to Kate Pankhurst’s hugely successful Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, number one best-selling children’s non-fiction title.

Kate Pankhurst, descendent of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, has created a wildly wonderful and accessible book about the accomplishments and adventures of many more brilliant women from throughout history.

· Travel through the Underground Railroad with the brave and courageous Harriet Tubman
· Turn the pages of the hauntingly brilliant Frankenstein with the incredibly talented Mary Shelley
· Blast into space with astronaut Valentina Tereshkova
· Become a mighty Egyptian pharaoh with the powerful Hatshepsut

Overflowing with vibrant and beautiful illustrations, and wonderfully engaging text, Fantastically Great Women Who Made History is a celebration of just some of the inspirational women who put their mark on the world we live in. A fantastic gift for girls and boys alike!

At first i didn't know about Harriet Tubman, or Flora Drummond or Qiu Jin! It is a fun, engaging well drawn book about women who arised (arise, arise! Chinese women arise!) and completed more than any man.
