Herstory As Well As History

I have been reading an intriguing book--Herstory--edited by Ruth Ashby and Deborah Gore Ohrn.  There are short pieces about 120 amazing women throughout history. 

This book is a reminder that not only do we want to expose our Esperanza scholars to people from different cultures who have made a difference in the world but we also want to remember women.  Young people are inspired by those who look like them.
