Con un tono lleno de humor y casi como un cuento, Mackenzi Lee nos detalla la vida de estas chicas rudas, que incluyen, entre otras, a la legendaria inventora de la seda, la emperadora Xi Ling Shi; a la primera novelista del mundo, Murasaki Shikibu; y a la mujer que transform� la f�sica moderna, Emmy Noether.
Mujeres que rompieron con los moldes tradicionales de su tiempo para facilitar el camino a las generaciones modernas.

Mackenzi Lee ha recibido varios galardones, y recientemente fue contratada por Marvel para escribir tres libros sobre los antih�roes de esta marca de c�mics que ha tenido tanto �xito en el cine.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
They invented silk, trained ninjas, and cured leprosy, but history tried to forget them.
These 52 stories of brilliant and inspiring women from around the world tell how they defied gender roles and directly impacted human history--whether through their discoveries, their work, or their ingenuity.
With a humorous tone and almost like a fairy tale, Mackenzi Lee details the lives of these fierce women, including the legendary inventor of silk, Empress Xi Ling Shi; the world's first novelist, Murasaki Shikibu; and the woman who transformed modern physics, Emmy Noether.
Women who broke the traditional molds of their time to pave the way for modern generations.
The beautiful illustrations accompanying each biography, created by Petra Eriksson, achieve a powerful combination that captivates at first glance. Eriksson makes her drawings seem to leap off the page and grab the reader's attention.
Beyond the humorous twist in her writing, the author has given her characters depth that makes them more human. Thus, each of these fierce women reveals both the positive and negative sides of their personality, bringing them closer to the reader and moving away from traditional, rigid biographies.
Mackenzi Lee has received several awards and was recently hired by Marvel to write three books about the brand's antiheroes, which have been highly successful in film.
