Great Women's Speeches: Empowering Voices That Engage and Inspire

Great Women's Speeches is essential reading for pioneering women everywhere. From Emmeline Pankhurst's 'Freedom or Death' speech and Marie Curie's trailblazing Nobel lecture, to Michelle Obama speaking on parenthood in politics and Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza's stirring ode to black women, the words collected here are empowering, engaging and entirely unapologetic.

With powerful illustrations from Camila Pinheiro, Anna Russell's rousing anthology is dedicated to anyone who dares to ask for more.

This is an edited and resized version of So Here I Am: Speeches by great women to empower and inspire.
