Mom, I have a question: Does God think boys are more important than girls, because all we ever learn about in church are boys? This question, from Lauren L. Nelson’s 7-year-old daughter, led her to write SHEROES of the Bible. Many have heard of the remarkable men in scripture but lesser known are the dynamic women who trusted God and did astonishingly courageous things when they chose faith over fear. SHEROES of the Bible awakens girls to the reality that God can use them to radically change the world. Within, Lauren shares the 20 stories of 26 women from the Bible who became SHEROES when they chose to trust God in difficult situations. As its name portrays, SHEROES of the Bible provides strong female role models who are relevant to past, present, and future generations. Lauren presents a well-rounded collection of stories with ethnically diverse illustrations that are sure to impact children all over the world. SHEROES of the Bible is needed in every household, church, and discipleship program around the globe. Girls, young and old, will be inspired to become the dynamic, strong women that God created them to be. Included in each story are three to four devotional questions to help children personally apply what they have learned so that their faith becomes their own personal experience.

This brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science. Women have been pioneers of inventions. Some have come up with practical ways to solve problems in their own lives, such as Marie van Brittan Brown, who invented closed-circuit TV because she did not feel safe opening the door in her New York City tenement block in the 1960s. Other women have been trained scientists working in laboratories, such as Stephanie Kwolek, inventor of bullet-proof Kevlar. Few of these women have received full credit, because their inventions are not always spectacular, yet we all use them every day: the windshield wiper, the paper bag, the coffee filter, and the diaper. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions. ABOUT THE SERIES: From studying the stars to curing disease, understanding plants and animals, pioneering computer studies, and unraveling the secrets of atoms and molecules, women have played a vital role in scientific advances since the ancient world. Yet their contributions have often gone unrecognized or, worse, have been credited to others. With lively text, photography, and art, Super SHEroes of Science sets out to redress the balance and give credit where it's due. It examines the contributions to various fields of science of individual women from around the world!

The whole world is facing gender inequality issues, and this could only be eradicated by generating awareness amongst those stereotype mindsets. Keeping in view of achieving Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nation, I thought to write a book consisting of global gender inequality issues and an encouraging story for girls who face more difficulties in achieving their goals.

Meet the Super SHEroes of History, the women who have shaped history and society since ancient times. From the first attempts to end slavery in the 1800s to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, women were in the forefront of the struggle to achieve equality for Black Americans. Rosa Parks in Montgomery and Viola Desmond in Canada both sparked effective mass movements that led to change, while other women led the way in educating Black voters and organizing protests such as lunch-counter sit-ins and the Freedom Rides. As soon as they could, Black women played an active role in local, state, and federal government, paving the way for more women of color than ever to sit in the U.S. Congress. This book tells the stories of the pioneers who made this possible. ABOUT THE SERIES: From leading warriors into battle in Tang China to fighting for Civil Rights, exploring the deserts of Asia, and standing up for Indigenous peoples around the world, women have shaped history and society since ancient times. Often, however, their achievements went unrecognized. With lively text, compelling photography, and art, Super SHEroes of History brings herstory to life, illuminating the achievements of remarkable women from all backgrounds and all periods of time. The aim of this four-book series is to bring their inspiring stories to young readers — and to use engaging interactive prompts and questions to persuade them that anyone can grow up to change the world!
