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 Curious
Inventors, Healers & Creators you will read about the women who
shape our world through education, science and maths. You will read
about women who became teachers, nurses, social workers, scientists
and community workers, overcame obstacles and through their work
fought for social change.

Michele Clapton, costume designer for series one of Netflix's The
Crown, giving a peek behind the scenes at the recreation of some of

Children's Book Prize-winning Julia Golding, The Queen's Wardrobe
