A part of a series of books about women who should never be forgotten, Forgotten Women: The Leaders is a fantastic collection of women throughout history from all over the world that need to be remembered. Given to us here in a few pages with illustrations this book really inspires you to know more.

Made up of different sections that include Rebels; Warriors; Rulers; Activists and Reformers, this book covers a dimension of different women including Agent 355 to Sylvia Rivera, giving you a real intersectional view of women who have made change in the world and does it incredibly well. Easily read particularly for young people, Tsjeng writes about these with passion and it shows in her writing.

With these women’s short biographies are some excellent illustrations of the women that really capture the story Tsjeng tells about them and they make for a treat to the eyes throughout.

A great book to discover some incredible women with.
