50 Amazing Swiss Women: True Stories You Should Know about by Anita Lehmann, Barbara Nigg, Mireille Lachausse, Katie Hayoz, Alnaaze Nathoo
5.0
The illustrations in this book are beautiful and highlight the fascinating stories of these truly amazing women. I bought a copy because I know some of the authors, but also because it's a perfect fit in my literacy classroom. Every week I find a reason to take it off the shelf and browse it with one of my students, whether to discuss what a good biography looks like or to learn about someone new and local.
Switzerland was long overdue for a book that celebrated the achievements of its own women, both within and outside the country. What better time to bring those stories to light in a single volume than the 50th anniversary of winning the right to vote? I see how excited my students get when they read about women making a difference, and I know this book will have an impact on young Swiss minds.
