Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World

Kate Pankhurst, a descendent of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, has created a stimulating and entertaining book about women who have made a significant contribution to history. From Coco Chanel to Anne Frank to Rosa Parks, the book illuminates the lives of these inspirational women using facts alongside illustrations with cartoon style speech balloons which has the effect of personalising the women rather than them appearing to be remote figures. Each spread has appropriate design features. For example, the name of palaeontologist Mary Anning is spelled out in bones and fossils.
