An inspiring and radical celebration of 70 women, girls, and nonbinary people who have changed—and are still changing—the world, from the Civil Rights Movement and Stonewall riots through Black Lives Matter and beyond. With a radical and inclusive approach to history, Modern HERstory profiles and celebrates seventy women and nonbinary champions of progressive social change in a bold, colorful, illustrated format for all ages. Despite making huge contributions to the liberation movements of the last century and today, all of these trailblazers come from backgrounds and communities that are traditionally overlooked and under-celebrated: not just women, but people of color, queer people, trans people, disabled people, young people, and people of faith. Authored by rising star activist Blair Imani, Modern HERstory tells the important stories of the leaders and movements that are changing the world right here and right now—and will inspire you to do the same.

A very special collection of short biographies offers insightful sketches of the lives and accomplishments of 150 of history's most influential and brilliant women, including Clara Barton, the legendary Trung Sisters of medieval Vietnam, and many others. Ranging from an ancient Egyptian ruler (Queen Hatshepsut) to a contemporary athlete (Billie Jean King), these highly readable thumbnail sketches cover areas from literature to politics, fashion to aviation, music to science. The 120 entries offer concise overviews of specific women's lives and accomplishments, with a thoughtful blend of professional and personal details. In addition to often-profiled figures (Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt), the collection also includes less well known but influential women like the seventh-century Chinese ruler Wu Chao and Vietnamese activist Nguyen Thi Binh. The team of nine women authors (including Ashby and Ohrn) employs a conversational tone that encourages leisurely browsing. Many selections are prefaced with a revealing excerpt from the subject's writings, and each is accompanied by a photograph or artistic likeness. Ages 10-up.

What is Gynocracy? Technically, it is a government run by women. But three time author, Darryl Murphy, a pioneer of the literary genre "The History You Didn't Learn In School," weaves together the collective stories of unsung women, from all time periods and of all colors and creeds, who have had a resounding impact, both good and bad, on the world we live in. Inside the pages of this book you will meet women like the adventurer, Barbara Hillary, who explored the North Pole at the age of 75 and the South Pole at 79, and talented Nineteenth Century women artists known as the "Women Impressionists." Meet the woman who revolutionized the marketing industry by creating the Tupperware Party. Learn why Martha Washington who, when widowed by her first husband at age 25, was considered the best "catch" in Colonial America. Find out what really made Catherine the Great, well, great! Meet the "Six Triple Eights," the only all Black female unit to serve in the European war zone during World War II and many more truly unique women who, until now, lived on history's back pages. Gynocracy is Darryl Murphy's third history book. His other titles are Three Blind Mice and Tropospheric Politics.
