(Formerly announced as Women Who Rocked the World: A Not-Quite-Blank Journal) A striking journal featuring thirty bold and fascinating women who have defied convention, challenged gender roles and made their mark on history. Read about women spies, scientists, pirates, engineers, film directors, activists and outlaws! Their stories are interspersed with both lined and blank pages waiting for you to record your own inspirations and exploits. Ellen Warwick has combined her knowledge as a former Women's Studies student with her experience "selling books and journals across the country to create this fun and useful not-quite-blank book. Excerpts: "Mary Shadd Cary was the first Black woman news publisher in North America. As both reporter and editor, from 1853 to 1859 she ran a Toronto newspaper, Provincial Freedom, to further her goal of a culturally integrated society. But this was only one of her accomplishments: she also founded a school for freed slaves in Washington, DC, attended law school, and then as a lawyer won herself the right to vote." Publisher of the first feminist magazine in North America, The Lily, Amelia Bloomer also invented and advertised the mid-19th century fashion craze that freed women from many pounds of undergarments: the bloomer."
