"Strong Women: 15 Biographies of Influential Women History Overlooked" celebrates the lives and contributions of amazing women who may not be household names, but who nonetheless made our world a better place. Author Kari Koeppel divides the book into three sections: "The Innovators"; "The Change-Makers"; and "The Ceiling-Breakers". Featured women from various eras in time include those who worked in writing, film-making, design engineering, journalism, civil liberties, political reform, education, entrepreneurship, women's rights, women's health, investigative services, and science. Each biography is accompanied by a colorfully illustrated portrait of the subject. In addition to the spotlight stories, there are a number of brief histories of other notable women whose lives had an impact on society. As the author states: "Women have always been well-rounded, complicated, complete humans with ambitions, beliefs, courage, and a deep-rooted sense of survival."
