Opis

A feisty collection of brand new poems about amazing women and girls who did what they needed to do no matter what society thought. The poems are about role models both real and fictional. Malala, global spokesperson for education for girls; Rosa Parks, who became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation; Mary Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein when she was only 19; Valentina Tereshkova, who became the first woman in space; Margaret Hamilton, lead software engineer of the Apollo Project; and 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen from district 12, who volunteered as a tribute in the Hunger Games, won, and became a heroine to a generation of YA readers.
