In this book, I have taken into account the life journey of great women who have made an impact on the world and changed it for the better. As a tribute to these great women, I have put the best foot forward in the form of poetry, praising them for challenging the circumstances around them. My objective is to enlighten and inspire. Even great people face challenges, but they get beyond that and make their voices heard. I have praised the following great women in this book: Empress Dowager Cixi, Andrea Dworkin, and, Wilma Rudolph.Show book
A unique, illustrated book that will change the way you see medieval history The Middle Ages: A Graphic Historybusts the myth of the 'Dark Ages', shedding light on the medieval period's present-day relevance in a unique illustrated style. This history takes us through the rise and fall of empires, papacies, caliphates and kingdoms; through the violence and death of the Crusades, Viking raids, the Hundred Years War and the Plague; to the curious practices of monks, martyrs and iconoclasts.

Join historian Eleanor Janega and illustrator Neil Max Emmanuel on a romp across continents and kingdoms as we discover the Middle Ages to be a time of huge change, inquiry and development - not unlike our own.Show book
