Ævisögur

Behind every great woman . . . is another great woman. Discover the connections between eighty-four female pioneers in art, politics, sports, aviation, science, and more . . .

Threading tales from across the globe and throughout history, this inspiring book reveals the lives of innovative aviatrixes, gun-toting revolutionaries, extraordinary athletes, women with incomparable intellects, and more. Each woman is connected to the next, bringing to light the women behind the scenes—those who didn't get the credit for scientific discoveries, sporting achievements, or acts of bravery in their lifetimes. Some names will be familiar, some might not, but all are equally important.

With compelling storytelling and beautifully illustrated portraits, I Know a Woman is bold and engaging with a unique purpose: to uncover the links between eighty-four pioneering women and show the indomitable strength of womankind—through the stories of Michelle Obama, Virginia Woolf, Gala Dalí, Emma Watson, Nina Simone, Billie Jean King, Frida Kahlo, Marie Curie, Georgia O'Keeffe, Greta Garbo, Eleanor Roosevelt, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Malala Yousafzai, and many more pioneering women who have shaped the world we live in today.
