WOMEN WHO WON

70 Extraordinary Women Who Reshaped Politics

ROS BALL

A beautifully illustrated international collection of women who fought for election in a man’s world... and WON

Did you know that Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka was the first woman in the world to become a democratically elected prime minister? Or that Sylvie Kinigi of Burundi was the first woman to serve as a prime minister in Africa? It is high time these extraordinary women became household names, and this book brings them at last to the fore.

Beautifully illustrated by artist Emmy Lupin, it features wellknown figures, including Kamala Harris, Benazir Bhutto, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Jacinda Ardern and Julia Gillard, alongside lesserknown women who smashed the political glass ceiling, and whose stories are ready to be heard.
