Women Who WonWomen Who Won

"Women Who Won is a celebration of 70 women from the last 100 years: politicians from around the globe who fought for election in a man's world... and won. Beautifully illustrated by artist Emmy Lupin, it features well-known figures, including Kamala Harris, Benazir Bhutto, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Jacinda Ardern and Julia Gillard, alongside lesser-known women whose stories are ready to be heard: Shidzue KatM, one of the first women elected to the Diet of Japan. Yulia Tymoshenko, the first woman prime minister of Ukraine. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the US Congress. Peri-Khan Sofieva, the first democratically elected Muslim woman. Ethel Blondin-Andrew, the first Indigenous woman elected to Canadian parliament. Women of the past, but also women of the present and future. Women who smashed the political glass ceiling. Women who fought to leave a positive legacy for future generations. Women who paved the way for girls of today to become women who won" --
