Real-life stories of 25 rebel women who changed the world

Kay Woodward, Author

Meet 25 of the most powerful and inspirational women of all time. From historical world leaders to modern pioneers and international muses, these are the incredible life stories of women from around the world to inspire and empower. Created by an all-women team and illustrated by internationally renowned artists, What Would SHE Do? packs a feminist punch.

From Cleopatra to Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie to Malala Yousafzai, learn about powerful and inspiring women throughout history in this incredible book! Covering female world leaders from centuries ago through to modern-day heroes, What Would SHE Do? is the ultimate guide to empowered women. Portraits created by hand-picked contemporary illustrators and snappy, compelling text bring these women’s achievements vividly to life, and relate their stories back to those of young girls today. These trailblazers not only accomplished great things, but overcame the same issues that girls all over the world have to face in modern society: inequality, gender stereotyping, body shaming, bullying and much more. Each profile concludes with a ‘What Would She Do…’ scenario that applies the subject’s attitude to a relatable situation.
