1 author picked Original Sisters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I grabbed this book from a friend when I visited her cottage this summer. Recently published, it’s a stunning collection of short facts and spectacular portraits of 158 women who changed our world for the better. Most of these women’s contributions to our knowledge of the world have been ignored or forgotten. I was particularly interested in the brief description of Mary Anning who was living in Devon, England at the same time as Anne Powell was residing here in Toronto. Anning’s amazing discoveries about fossils from centuries ago gave a new understanding of the history of our planet.
From Ann's list on brave women who dared to challenge the norms.
