Summary:

"Women Who Changed the World presents a selection of biographical essays on women from all continents and periods of world history written by a team of more than 100 scholars. Entries have been selected to provide truly global coverage. Along with some of the world's most influential women, entries include little known women as well, providing breadth of coverage and the historical depth of an ever-evolving human story that is inclusive of women's experiences and their own voices. It offers middle school, high school, and university students of world history, as well as non-specialist general readers, an opportunity to explore the global past from a gendered perspective"-- Provided by publisher.
