$6.30The Story
Julia Pierpont and artist Manjit Thapp tell vibrant, inspiring, and surprising stories of strength and progress by pairing short, biographies of secular ''saints'' with stunning portraits. Some may be obvious: Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) wrote the first algorithm for a machine and is considered the first computer programmer. Some less so: Kanno Sugako (1881-1911) was an anarcho-feminist Japanese journalist who fought against gender oppression. Featuring a woman from 8th century BC and women fighting for social justice in 2017, this will be a book to offer as a gift to the women in your life, but also one you?ll want for yourself-because it?s smart and edifying and because it?s a companion of sorts, a daily inspiration and delight.
