Book Description
An inspiring and radical celebration of 70 women, girls, and nonbinary people who have changed—and are still changing—the world, from the Civil Rights Movement and Stonewall riots through Black Lives Matter and beyond. With a radical and inclusive approach to history, Modern HERstory profiles and celebrates seventy women and nonbinary champions of progressive social change in a bold, colorful, illustrated format for all ages. Despite making huge contributions to the liberation movements of the last century and today, all of these trailblazers come from backgrounds and communities that are traditionally overlooked and under-celebrated: not just women, but people of color, queer people, trans people, disabled people, young people, and people of faith. Authored by rising star activist Blair Imani, Modern HERstory tells the important stories of the leaders and movements that are changing the world right here and right now—and will inspire you to do the same.

Book Description
The year was 1896, the woman was Alice Guy-Blaché, and the film was The Cabbage Fairy. It was less than a minute long. Guy-Blaché, the first female director, made hundreds of movies during her career. Thousands of women with passion and commitment to storytelling followed in her footsteps. Working in all aspects of the movie industry, they collaborated with others to create memorable images on the screen. This book pays tribute to the spirit, ambition, grit and talent of these filmmakers and artists. With more than 1200 women featured in the book, you will find names that everyone knows and loves—the movie legends. But you will also discover hundreds and hundreds of women whose names are unknown to you: actresses, directors, stuntwomen, screenwriters, composers, animators, editors, producers, cinematographers and on and on. Stunning photographs capture and document the women who worked their magic in the movie business. Perfect for anyone who enjoys the movies, this photo-treasury of women and film is not to be missed.

Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK The result of over a decade of research, TOKIN' WOMEN: A 4000-Year Herstory presents an enlightening compilation of over 50 famous females throughout "herstory" associated with cannabis-from ancient goddesses to bohemian authors, jazz musicians and icons of the 60s to the film goddesses of today. Readers will recognize many of the names, like Maya Angelou and Jennifer Aniston, but "some of the more obscure women come with the most compelling stories, including adventurous explorers (Gertrude Bell, Iris Tree); pioneers in art, science and literature (Alice B. Toklas, Louisa May Alcott); and other powerful women who lived their lives according to their own rules." - Freedom Leaf, December 2015 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nola Evangelista (aka Ellen Komp) is a longtime hemp/marijuana activist and author. Currently the deputy director of California NORML, for the past 12 years she has gathered information about prominent cannabis connoisseurs at her website, VeryImportantPotheads.com, and her blog TokinWoman.blogspot.com. She has contributed articles and op-eds to various publications such as High Times, In These Times, Alternet, Cannabis Now and Cannabis Culture.

Book Description
This best selling book is a powerful reminder that if you don't learn from history you will be destined to repeat it. The author, Pastor Elmira P. Davis, shares her life story of challenge and survival while revisiting the biblical stories of ten women with their own poignant stories of desperation, deliverance, perseverance and triumph. Davis has rewound the tape of time and allowed you a rare opportunity to learn many valuable lessons from these historic women. After you push 'play' and begin to read about each woman, remember to press 'pause' as you read and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the message that you personally need to hear from HERstory. You should be able to use the lessons in this book to delete, edit or rewrite the painful pages from your past as you allow God to dictate brand new chapters in your life. Remember, he already knows the wonderful ending that he has planned for you. Regardless of the story lines, chapters, ripped pages or red marks that you've already experienced, it's not over until God says it is over. It may be the end of a chapter but it doesn't have to be the end of the book! Get ready for your personal tour guide, led by the Holy Spirit, to your own mountaintop of fulfillment and purpose. Sit back, relax and get ready to revisit these biblical women from Genesis to Revelation, some well known, others less prominent, but all with a HERstory.
