O knihe

Mothers of Invention
Dorothy Parker observed, "It's a man's world;" but the fiery femmes in Women Who Launch would beg to differ. Move over, "ladies who lunch;" these kick-ass fabulous females change the world. Juliette Gordon Low showed what's good for the goose is good for the gander when she created the Girl Scouts of America. Sara Joseph Hale, authoress of Mary had a Little Lamb, convinced Abe Lincoln to launch a national day of thanks and advocate extraordinaire Anna Jarvis persuaded President Wilson to initiate a day in tribute of all those hard-working mamas, now celebrated as Mother's Day. Crafty gal turned craftivist, Krista Suh created pink pussy-cat eared hats and knit a nation together in what became the largest women's march in history. The grand tradition of these Mothers of Invention carries on as the creativity, business savvy and unstoppable smarts of women launch new enterprises, social change and movements on a daily basis. Let these Women Who Launch inspire you to discover your dreams and make them a reality. In the words of Rosie the Riveter, "We can do it!"
"I am a big fan of Marlene Wagman Geller's herstory books because she tells the stories of unsung sheroes and great unknowns. Women were left out of record books for far too long. Brava for writing women back into history with Women Who Launch!"
¿ Becca Anderson, author of The Book of Awesome Women
