"How much would Emmeline Pankhurst have achieved without her army of suffragettes? Would the name Audrey Hepburn mean anything without Colette's discovery? What did it mean for Mae Jemison to see Nichelle Nichols take to the skies? I know a woman is a collection of 84 illustrated portraits that celebrate female collaboration. Whether that is encouraging a leader, a colleague or friend; inspiring another to follow in their footsteps, or perhaps fostering a friendship that spans decades and oceans. In telling the stories of these women's lives and achievements - whether it is in science or politics, arts or sports, fashion or aviation - the fascinating web of connections that have enabled each one to take a new step forward are exposed. Some names will be familiar, some might not, but all are equally important. This is a bold and proud account of some of womankind's most compelling voices. Be wowed, be surprised, but most of all be inspired."--back cover.
