So Here I Am: Women's Speeches That Empower and Inspire

History has many themes, one of them is that women should be quiet'; for too long, the female voice has not been part of the public sphere, perhaps with rare exceptions. This is a celebration of women speaking up; within politics, science, human rights, TV and media - speaking out about everything from free love, anti-war, discoveries, race, gender and women's rights. With evocative and powerful illustrations from Brasilian artists, Camila Pinheiro, this anthology of great women - whose own achievements speak for themselves - is firmly a part of the modern day.
