Through fame and its attendant ills—alcoholism, infidelity, mental illness, divorce, and even attempted murder—these powerful women quietly propelled their men to the top and changed the course of history. Meet the Untold Half of History, Including: •Alma Reville (Mrs. Alfred Hitchcock) •Elena Diakonova (Mrs. Salvador Dali) •Winifred Madikizela (Mrs. Nelson Mandela) •Ann Charteris (Mrs. Ian Fleming, a.k.a.

Download or read book Famous Women in History Coloring Book written by Adrienne Kleinschmidt and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's important for all of us to share with the newest generations our wisdom. I think young girls should have heroes in their lives. All through history, women have been there. On the sidelines doing their services. Or right along side the men. It astounds me to see how the most valuable trait I read about was their ability to nurture. Their ability to heal and care beyond just a job, but in servitude to their hearts and souls as well. And in my own inimitable way, I present it in rhyme and coloring together. Again, to imagine is to be! And these women and so many more imagined who they could be, and became that woman! Bravo!
