Little Leaders by Vashti Harrison

Meet the little leaders. They're brave. They're bold.

They changed the world. Featuring the true stories of 40 inspirational women creators - from writers to inventors, artists to scientists - this book is as inspirational as it is educational. Readers will meet trailblazing women such as revolutionary architect, Zaha Hadid, actor/inventor Hedy Lamarr, environmental activist Wangari Maathai, modernist painter and animator Mary Blair and physicist Chien-Shiung Wu.

Some names will be familiar, some will not - but all these women had a lasting impact on their fields.
