Halcyon Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I like the Memoria Press book, but wondering if there is a similar book focusing on the accomplishments of women in modern times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Don't know if any of these would work, and they're not all modern, but... Famous American Women Lives of Extraordinary Women 100 Women Who Shaped World History Girls Think of Everything Her Story: A Timeline of the Women Who Changed America Herstory: Women Who Changed the World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 In general, I really like Rabble Rousers: 20 Women Who Made a Difference by Cheryl Harness. Just be forewarned that it has a very positive profile of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freerange Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Dd2 really liked Spectacular Women in Space, and Girls are Best by Sandi Togsvik. You could also add some of the stories from How the girl guides won the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
