Her Story is the first in a planned children’s book series for 7- to 12-year-old girls that features 30 South African women whose lives inspire.

The first title in this series, Daughters of Modjadji, features women in the book from diverse settings, sectors and spheres of life. Their stories reflect not only the multiple roles that women play in society, but also the obstacles they face as a result of race, class and most importantly; their gender.

The book is centred on themes of affirmation, identity and gender. The stories are accompanied by vivid illustrations and interactive comic strips. The empowerment of girls is a fundamental building block of the publication, as seen by most of the writers and illustrators in the book being female.
