Little Dreamers: Visionary Women Around the World (Vashti Harrison)

Featuring the true stories of women creators and thinkers from around the world, Little Dreamers shows that sometimes seeing things a little differently can lead to big changes.

In this irresistibly illustrated volume, you'll meet trailblzazers like scientist Marie Curie, musician Violeta Parra, astronomer Vera Rubin, artist Yayoi Kusama, environmental activist Wangari Maathai, and architect Zaha Hadid.

Some names are well known, some are not, but all the women had a lasting effect on the fields they worked in. Whether they were breaking ground for innovative structures or breaking rules and creating new ones, the women profiled in these pages not only made a place for themselves in the world but made the world a better place to live.
