Legendary Ladies of History 👑

I’m starting to gather books about remarkable women from the past whose impact on society was huge, and unjustly erased from our history. Join me as I discover, learn and celebrate these overlooked trailblazers! 🥳 (note: there are books i couldn't find on PageBound such as Women in World History, Our Voices Our History, etc. 🌼 book suggestions are always welcome!)

You might like "Monster She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction," and "Bygone Badass Broads: 52 Forgotten Women Who Changed the World." I really enjoyed both books and loved learning about the women in them.
