The last couple of hundred years, however, have seen increasing numbers of self-made women of distinction take their place on the world stage, many in positions of leadership. This new title in the Women's Hall of Fame series profiles a fine selection of these trailblazers past and present. They include Roberta Jamieson, chief of Six Nations of the Grand River Territory; Golda Meir, first female prime minister of Israel; Marie Therese Casgrain, first woman to head a political party in Quebec; Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man; and Wangari Maathai of Kenya, first woman in central or eastern Africa to hold a PhD and head a university department. Educational, inspiring and fun! |
