Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout history, whenever women wanted to realize themselves, they were either rejected or blocked for various reasons. There were times when they were not even allowed to go to school and had no voting rights; but nothing stood in their way. The women whose stories we try to convey in Unbending Steps are women who resist their fathers, husbands, brothers, male-dominated working life, sexist education system, and binary gender system and do their best to overcome them. The 40 women in the book have succeeded in changing the world drastically with the willing steps they have taken. These women you watch from afar how their lives are shaped from a young age take you on a journey in their own world. While reading this book, you will be included in these journeys sometimes as a writer, sometimes as a cosmonaut, sometimes as an athlete, and sometimes as a suffragette. We hope that these women, who cross continents by intervening in the writing of history with their stories will inspire women of all ages...
