Give your daughter real heroines to look up to, the women who actually changed the world.

Girls today can name every singer and online star, but few can name the women who won them the vote, charted the unknown, or carried science into the future. History Heroines for Girls changes that, with sixteen short, thrilling true stories of real women from Europe and America who changed the world through courage, brains, and conviction.

These are not dry textbook chapters. Each one is a vivid, fast-moving story, written to be read for the adventure, that quietly leaves your daughter braver, prouder, and full of women she can see herself in.

Inside this book:

  • 16 real heroines across leadership, exploration, science, writing, reform, and care
  • Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, Sacagawea, Jane Austen, Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Marie Curie, Maria Montessori, Helen Keller, Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosalind Franklin, Katherine Johnson, and Jane Goodall
  • A What Would You Do? moment in every chapter, so girls step into the heroine's shoes
  • A Did You Know? box of surprising facts in every chapter
  • A Her Story panel with each woman's dates, country, and the one strength a girl can borrow
  • Short, finishable chapters perfect for reluctant readers and for reading aloud
Written for girls roughly 7 to 12 (and any reader who loves a great true story), this is a complete library of role models in one book, framed around character a girl can actually practice: courage, cleverness, persistence, compassion, and grit.

Honest history, told gently and never preachy. Real women, real struggles, handled with care, and never a political statement. A book your daughter will actually want to read, and ask to read again.

Real women. Real courage. A whole new lineup to look up to.
