Publisher's Synopsis
With her characteristic wit, dazzling drawings and engaging storytelling, award-winning artist Pénélope Bagieu illustrates surprising and lesser-known portraits of courageous women rejecting cultural norms through the ages and from all over the world; from a little girl who grew up to discover that being a witch was better than being a princess, to the Queen of Ndongo, a bearded lady, rebel revolutionary sisters and an animal whisperer.
