In this colourful anthology, you will meet 30 Black Sheroes, past and present, who shook Britain. They are daring, unique and wonderfully human. Patricia Scotland, the youngest woman to ever become a Queen's Counsel barrister in over 200 years at the Bar. Margaret Busby, Britain's youngest ever book publisher, who was only twenty years old when she made history. Fanny Eaton, a young black mum who dared to model in the Victorian Era and made art more inclusive by showing up as herself. Across British history, Black women have been creators, lawmakers, Olympic gold medallists, models, pioneer nurses, actors and so much more. Some were born here in Britain while others migrated with their families. Though their reasons for coming and staying are dynamic, what remains consistent is that Black women have shown up for our nation in big ways. Did you know Black women helped Britain during the Great Wars by flying aircrafts and serving as medical secretaries and Acting Corporals? How about after the Second World War, when they boarded the Empire Windrush in thousands and sailed to British shores to help rebuild the nation and kickstart the NHS? Black British women are more than their struggle. Their stories should be known, their impact celebrated. Now you can uncover their legacy as never before told. This book is about your learning and growth just as much as it is celebrating these great women. Each biography invites you to journey with a shero and closes with a reflective space to journal your ambitions and create your own action plan. Where will their inspiration take you? This book features past and present sheroes like: Evelyn Dove, Dido Elizabeth Belle, Valerie Amos, Linda Dobbs, Lilian Badder, Sislin Fay Allen, Kanya King, Tessa Sanderson, and includes special features on The Windrush Generation and Black Nurses in the NHS.
