Thoughts

There were three of these books in the sale focusing in on the great stories and lives of women in Art, Science and Sport. The layout of the book is brilliant, gorgeously illustrated in a fun way with each double page spread focusing in on one woman’s story, gradually going through history to highlight achievements that have most likely been overlooked. It’s a great way of kicking off interest to find out more as well.
