All around the world for many centuries, women have had the courage and resilience "that made the world a better place." Hillary and Chelsea Clinton present stories featuring both famous women and some not so well known; however, all deserve to have their stories told. Eleven categories include a multitude of women: Early Inspirations like Helen Keller and Anne Frank; Education Pioneers like Maria Montessori and Joan Ganz Cooney; Earth Defenders like Rachel Carson and Jane Goodall; Explorers and Inventors like Sally Ride and Marie Curie; Healers like Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton; Athletes like Venus and Serena Williams; Advocates like Eleanor Roosevelt and Gabby Giffords; Storytellers like Maya Angelou and and Ali Stroker; Elected Leaders like Bella Abzug and Barbara Mikulski; Groundbreakers like Katharine Graham and Ellen DeGeneres; Women's Rights Champions like the Suffragists and Fraidy Reiss.
"Throughout history and around the globe, women have overcome some of the toughest and cruelest resistance imaginable from physical violence and intimidation to a total lack of legal rights or recourse, in order to redefine what is considered a woman's place." "Ensuring the rights, opportunities, and full participation of all women and girls remains a big piece of the unfinished business of the twenty-first century."
