This rousing anthology features over 50 speeches celebrating women in their own words through extracts accompanied by specially commissioned illustrations, spanning history up to the modern day. From Emmeline Pankhurst’s ‘Freedom or Death’ speech and Marie Curie’s trailblazing Nobel lecture, to Michelle Obama addressing parenthood in politics and Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza’s stirring ode to black women, the words collected here are empowering, engaging and entirely unapologetic.
