Get motivated by the grit of groundbreaking women! In Women Make History: Fifty-Three Stories of Courage, Strength & Resilience, you'll meet trailblazing women whose accomplishments have been dismissed, forgotten, or wrongly attributed. Spanning Colonial America to the late 20th century, you'll be immersed in a kaleidoscope of backgrounds and experiences including: Gladys West, the brilliant African American mathematician who struggled to find work in the 1950s because of Jim Crow laws, yet went on to invent the critical components of GPS; Susan La Flesche Picotte, the first Native American physician, who cared for 1,300 people across 1,200 miles of Nebraska plains in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; Meg Crane, who designed the first home pregnancy test and improved women's lives worldwide, launched a multi-million-dollar enterprise in the 1960s. Once you've read Women Make History, you'll never forget how the courage of one's convictions can illuminate a path forward for everyone.
