Publisher's summary

Forgotten Women of History is a compelling journey through the untold stories of extraordinary women who defied the odds, challenged societal norms, and made an indelible impact on history. This meticulously researched and richly narrated collection brings to life the remarkable achievements of women from diverse backgrounds and eras—women whose contributions have too often been overlooked or forgotten.

From Hatshepsut, the powerful Pharaoh who ruled ancient Egypt, to Huda Sha'arawi, the pioneering feminist who championed women's rights in Egypt, each chapter reveals the life of a woman who shaped her world in profound ways. Whether they were queens, warriors, scientists, artists, or activists, these women broke barriers and left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire.

Discover the stories of Nzinga Mbemba, the astute queen and diplomat who fiercely defended her kingdom against colonial forces in Central Africa; Sofonisba Anguissola, the Renaissance artist who challenged the conventions of her time to become one of the first internationally recognized female painters; and Toypurina, the Native American leader who courageously resisted Spanish colonization in California.

Forgotten Women of History is not just a book—it’s a celebration of the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women throughout the ages. Perfect for history enthusiasts, feminists, and anyone interested in learning about the powerful women who have shaped our world, this book offers a fresh perspective on history by highlighting the voices that have been too long silenced.

Join us in rediscovering these trailblazers, and be inspired by their courage, determination, and unwavering commitment to justice and equality. Their stories are a testament to the vital role women have played—and continue to play—in shaping the course of history.

Repeated chapters

This was clearly not edited well because there is one woman who gets three chapters, space throughout the book, all with the same information. Also, some of these were not forgotten women of history. Everyone knows who Eleanor of Aquitaine was, for example.
