Michelle Roehm reveals the stories of more amazing girls through the ages. They are linked by a courage to fight for their beliefs and goals and by the fact that they made their mark upon the world before they had reached their twenties. Get to know girls like: * HATCHEPSUT - the first and only female pharaoh, who ruled Egypt for more than twenty years. Her reign was marked by peace, stability and prosperity. * THE TRUNG SISTERS - who led the Vietnamese people in a rebellion against foreign invaders almost 2000 years ago, winning independence for their country and inspiring generations to come. * LAURYN HILL - who rocked the music world with the Fugees at seventeen. Lauryn didn't stop there - her solo album won her the most Grammy awards of any woman in history and she has founded a charitable organisation to help inner city children.

Amazing girls from the past to modern times,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Girls Who Rocked the World 2: Heroines from Harriet Tubman to Mia Hamm (v. 2) (Paperback)
Girls Who Rocked the World 2 provides more stories of amazing girls from the past to modern times who had the courage to make history. These girls made history before they were in their twenties and include such notables as Harriet Tubman, Golda Meir, and the modern singer Charlotte Church. The biographies are lively and revealing.
