Violeta Monreal offers us portraits of 50 perfectly imperfect women — visionaries, revolutionaries, dreamers, innovators, and unique individuals who have transformed the world. These women, throughout history (such as Marie Curie, Hedy Lamarr, Helen Keller, Maria Montessori, Clara Campoamor, Gabriela Mistral, Louise Bourgeois, María Moliner, Indira Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Jane Goodall, and many others), have made important discoveries, inspired others, taken action to advance the world, created new realities, led the way, and risked everything to make their dreams a reality. There are 50 of them, but there could have been so many more.
