Book excerpt: “An incredible book about the strength of women . . . an important book and a read that is nothing if not timely with current politics.” —FangirlNation A #1 Bestseller in 21st Century U.S. History for Teens Still I Rise takes its title from a work by Maya Angelou and it resonates with the same spirit of an unconquerable soul, a woman who is captain of her fate. It embodies the strength of character of the inspiring women profiled. Each chapter will outline the fall and rise of great women heroes who smashed all obstacles, rather than let all obstacles smash them. The book offers hope to those undergoing their own Sisyphean struggles. Intrepid women heroes are the antithesis of the traditional damsels in distress; rather than waiting for the prince, they took salvation into their own hands. Celebrate girl power! Women leaders in history celebrated in this book include: Madame C. J. Walker—first female American millionaireAung San Suu Kyi—Burma’s first lady of freedomBetty Shabazz—civil rights activistNellie Sachs—Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize recipientSelma Lagerlof—first woman Nobel LaureateFannie Lou Hamer—American voting rights activistBessie Coleman—first African-American female pilotWilma Rudolph—first woman to win three gold medalsSonia Sotomayor—first Hispanic Supreme Court justiceWangari Maathai—Nobel Prize winnerWinnifred Mandela—freedom fighterLois Wilson—founder of Al-AnonRoxanne Quimby—cofounder of Burt’s Bees “Inspirational . . . If you need a little encouragement in your life during these difficult times, the lives of these women will give you hope.” —Says Me Says Mom
