Summary/Abstract:

Princesses, poets, artists, activists, politicians, survivors, scientists from our times or from the past -- all the women reunited here were, at least once in their lives, in search of their identity and they tried to express, as much as they could, their own opinions and also to create something sustainable. Their legacy is more important the ever and their stories inspire young generations of women, all over the world.
This volume is a celebration of women’s creativity, and the extraordinary lives of each and every woman described here is just a reminder of their influence and their legacy in a divide world that, in many ways, has lost its direction.

The volume includes essays about Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Josefina Báez, Karen Blixen, Suchitra Bhattacharya, Prabhabati Dasgupta, Begum Sakina, The Rainbow Queens of Patani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Helena Willman-Grabowska, and Tereza Mózes.
