Heroines Every Child Should Know

From the days of Esther, Judith and Antigone to those of Florence Nightingale, women have shown every kind of courage that men have shown, faced every kind [x]of peril that men have braved, divided with men the dangers and hardships of heroism but have never had an equal share of recognition and applause.

This book celebrates some of the brave women throughout history. From Antigone to Joan of Arc and more, these narrative stories would be a great addition to any history study.
