Book Titles
- Books on heroines around the world
edit by Ruth Ashby and Deborah Gore Ohrn
For thosands of years the achievements of women, if not actively
erased from human history, have been largely ignored. History
was written almost exclusively by men about men - men's wards,
men's accomplishments, and men's discoveries. But today, as women
around the world are forging ahead in industry, politics, and the
arts and sciences, it is more important than ever to look back at
those who laid the groundwork for our current achievements.
Includes such notable women as
- Sappho- poet of ancient Greece
- Cleopatra - queen of ancient Egypt
- Hypatia - philosopher of Alexandria
- Theodora - empress of Constantinople
- Catherine de Medicis - queen of France
- Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz - nun and writer of Mexico
- Queen Victoria - queen of England
