Once upon a time, there lived....
Ah, screw it.
WHY HAVEN'T I EVER HEARD OF MOST OF THESE WOMEN BEFORE???!!! WHY HAVEN'T YOU!!!!!!!???????? GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot cannot cannot recommend 'Rejected Princesses' enough. It is not a fairy tale, and it is not for children - well, not the later entries containing extremely mature content. The fainthearted be warned.
Written and compiled together (out of Tumblr, no less) by Dreamworks technical animator Jason Porath, with each historical woman's entry given her own fantastic animation illustration, the whole book is beyond awesome.
A lesson in history and the women who made it happen. The bravest, strongest, and most versatile, resilient, independent, passionate and unstoppable women deliberately left out of most history books. They must never be forgotten.
A lesson in life. Humanity is terrible, but only because the patriarchy made it so. It is time to work for a better future, by learning from the past.
And they all suffered horrendously ever after. But hopefully, you can help to change that for future generations of women pioneers of justice.
Final Score: 5/5
