Imbokodo: Women Who Shape Us is a groundbreaking series of books
which introduces you to the powerful stories of South African women
who have all made their mark and cleared a path for women and
girls. These books recognise, acknowledge and honour our heroines
and elders from the past and the present. South African women are
silent no more on the roles that we have played in advancing our
lives as artists, storytellers, writers, politicians and
educationists. The title 'Imbokodo' was been chosen as it is a Zulu
word that means "rock" and is often used in the saying 'Wathint'
Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo!', which means "You Strike a Women, You
Strike a Rock!" These books were made possible with the support of
Biblionef and funding from the National Arts Council. In 10
Extraordinary Leaders, Activists & Protesters you will read
about women who fought against colonialism and oppression. Here are
the stories of women heroes through history, whose stories are
connected because of a shared passion for equality and justice.

Isamu Noguchi is one of the most important sculptors of all time.
You know his work without even knowing you know: His Akari lamps
changed the way modern buildings light their space. But before he
was important, he was a kid. This is his story. Noguchi was a
Japanese American artist who gave the world light. The world,
however, was not always so giving in return. Growing up mixed-race,
born in the United States but raised in Japan, Noguchi found
himself perceived as an outsider who did not belong in either
country. Unable to identify fully as either Japanese or American,
he conceived of himself as a snail, capable of retreating into his
creative shell when the world did not embrace him. Through his art,
the Snail could shape, hold, and create light-to conquer the
darkness without. Poetic and searing, heart-wrenching and
exquisite, Emily Hughes's paean to creativity explores emotions
ravaged by a history of Japanese incarceration, the effects of
personal isolation, and the power of art to heal those wounds.
Everest is the world's highest mountain, towering like an icy giant
over the Himalayas. For the millions of people living nearby, it
has always been a magical place, known as "Goddess Mother of the
World" or the "Peak of Heaven". To explorers and adventurers, it
represents a perilous but thrilling challenge to be conquered. In
this exhilarating account by award-winning author David Long, he
looks back at the first attempts by international mountaineers to
reach the fabled summit, many of which ended in death and disaster.
