    About this ebook

    Meet the heroines who don't wait at home while boys have all the adventures...

    This beautifully illustrated collection brings together a selection of classic children's stories, retold by Samantha Newman. These narratives from around the world showcase strong, charismatic, independent female protagonists who know their own minds, and make their own decisions.

    Inside you will meet Dorothy Gale, who freed faraway Oz from a terrible tyrant; Hua Mulan, who became a mighty warrior, legendary throughout ancient China; clever and powerful goddess Athena of Greek myth, who went toe-to-toe with Poseidon; and many more. These women strike out on their own with self-confidence, imagination, wit, and courage. They live without restraint or narrowly defined roles.

    Inspire the world-changing women of the future to dream big, by fueling their imaginations with relatable and aspirational role models. Featuring magical full-colour illustrations by Khoa Le, this book belongs on every girl's bookshelf; ideal for children aged 8+.

    Stories include:
    • Gerda and the Snow Queen (Denmark)
    • Hua Mulan (China)
    • Heidi (Switzerland)
    • Alice in Wonderland (UK)
    • Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz (USA)
    • Athena and Poseidon's Contest for Athens (Greece)
    • Hinemoa and Tutanekai (Maori, NZ)
