This book celebrates the diverse accomplishments, struggles and
strengths of Swiss women. One-page biographies give readers a
glimpse into the lives of fifty Swiss women -- both historical and
contemporary -- who inspire and intrigue. Each biography is paired
with a unique, colour illustration by Swiss illustrator Mireille
Lachausse. Spies, activists, entrepreneurs, entertainers,
politicians, athletes, midwives, mothers... Swiss women are daring,
ingenious, and brave. Though the country is small, the heroines are
vast!

Finally, the real history of Switzerland for clever kids and clever
kids-at-heart: dukes slaughtered by filthy peasants, innocent
'witches' hung up by their necks, buried gold, female mountaineers
and, of course, all those murderous cows... Not the fake history of
Heidi and William Tell, but 'Swisstory' -- from ancient mountain
people right up to women's right to vote. Hilariously illustrated
by bestselling Swiss artist Michael Meister ('The Monster Book of
Switzerland'), 'Swisstory' is outrageous, fascinating, gruesome --
and completely true. For children from 9 to 99.
