Celebrate, share, and take to heart the unsung accomplishments of these unflappable strong women

There are so many more incredible women throughout history than you've been taught. You might know some of the most famous and rebellious, but this is your chance to get to know 15 equally powerful strong women who quietly broke barriers and made a lasting impact.

From 10th-century novelist Murasaki Shikibu to 19th-century self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker, you'll learn about the early life, struggles, and successes of the innovators, changemakers, and ceiling-breakers who redefined what strong women were allowed to be. Even if they never became household names.

Strong Women will show you that:

Ordinary is extraordinary--Find hope and inspiration in the stories of women who worked in every field and every part of the world, throughout all of history. Dig deep--These biographies are brief and easy to read but include enough detail to present each woman as a complete personality, without shying away from the tough stuff. Always remember--Uncover why so many of these stories were lost to history, and how you can help keep them alive.

Discover the quiet power of 15 strong women who changed the world as you know it.

Reviews for Strong Women: 15 Biographies of Influential Women History Overlooked

"""A colorful, inspiring collection of incredible women whose stories were lost to history--until now. Each profile presents a thorough but easy-to-digest portrait of these exceptional, ambitious women who broke through boundaries to enrich our world across a spectrum of fields. You'll be enthralled, feel all the feels, and want to share this book with all the kick-ass women you know."" --Emmy Favilla, author of A World Without ""Whom"" The Essential Guide to Language in the BuzzFeed Age ""Kari Koppel's book is a beautiful tribute to generations of women whose extraordinary stories deserve to be told. Offering both quick summaries and deep dives into the lives of each individual woman, this book is the perfect companion for both the casual reader and the thoughtful historian. A staple for any curious woman (or man!) interested in the lives of the female pioneers who have come before us."" --Ashly Perez, writer for Freeform's Good Trouble and the upcoming book Read This For Inspiration ""Kari's background as a professional researcher brings the most interesting parts of life to the surface for all to see. In Strong Women, Kari makes visible the most badass and forgotten stories of women you'll wish you had learned about in school (instead of those boring white men and their quarrels). Kari writes from the heart in a fresh, inclusive perspective like the 'cooler older sister' I wish had taught my history classes. A must-read for all young, strong women."" --Kelsey Darragh (comedian, YouTuber, and host of Confidently Insecure podcast)"
