Personal Impressions

"I found this in my High School library. Stories from all around the world with female heroes, women working together, strong mother-daughter relationships. These are genuine stories that have been passed down through the generations, but aren't nearly as well-known as fairy tales like Cinderella, Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty. Its a wonderful resource, the stories in there are designed to teach a little kid that women are worthwhile. I wish it'd been in my Elementary School library." -- Ragnell
