Forgotten Heroines - Stefanie von Wietersheim

Popis produktu

They changed the world – and yet their names remain unknown. Forgotten Heroines tells the inspiring stories of extraordinary women who made groundbreaking contributions to politics, science, and the arts, but who have been all but erased from public memory. Did you know that modern Bluetooth technology was invented by the most beautiful actress in film history? That the world’s first parliamentary president was a woman? Or that the iconic "I love NY" slogan was created by one of the earliest female pioneers in advertising? Unjustly overlooked by male-dominated historiography, these pioneering inventors, brilliant artists, and courageous activists finally receive the recognition they deserve. With engaging portraits, fascinating facts, and powerful imagery – complemented by reflections from today’s experts – this book shines a spotlight on the women who helped shape our world.
