And what a difference they have made. In this inspiring volume, the histories of fifty Jewish women come vividly alive in text and pictures...

Betty Friedan penned The Feminine Mystique and kicked off a revolution called Women's Lib. Anne Frank, hiding from the Nazis in an attic in Holland, created the diary that taught us all about the shining wonder of a girl's spirit. From biblical times to the present, the personal odysseys of these and dozens of other Jewish women bear witness to their enormous accomplishments. Captured in a book to keep and cherish, the true stories of these activists, creators, and groundbreakers encourage women everywhere to beat the odds, pursue their dreams, fight back, fight on, and change the world.
