Meet a judo champion, a chess grandmaster, a spacewalking astronaut, a World War II spy, and more... What do all these people have in common? They are all inspiring Jewish women – mensches who rocked the world! This colorful and exuberant picture book includes capsule biographies of Jewish women, past and present, from around the world and in every field from science to the arts to activists.
Each biography begins with a four-line poem about the woman featured, and includes an illustration of the woman at work, plus "fun facts to mensch'n" and questions to readers about how they might change the world just like the mensch they're reading about. With additional materials including a timeline and a list of 18 honorable menschen, this is a bold celebration of Jewish women's role in history.
