March 2017 Non-Fiction Book of the Month.

To quote from Jacky Fleming’s book, The Trouble with Women (listed in Like for Like Reading below) “Why did we only learn about 3 women in school – What were the others doing?” Well, in Kira Cochrane’s view there are some 52 women pioneers who have changed the world, improved women’s lives and who have been acknowledged as innovators in their field. The factor that appears over and over in this collection of brief lives is a strength of purpose, a vision of a way forward and an appreciation of the obstacles that must be tackled to achieve success. The illustrated essays, all too brief, are valuable introductions to the lives of women – some now famous, some forgotten or overlooked, who have had the pioneering spark and inspire us all. ~ Sue Baker
