"The storie of remarkables women who have been forgotten or remaine unknown."

What is it about ?

This magazine highlights the courage, heroism and achievements of women. It also recounts how women defied the stereotypes of the eras to which they belonged. These eras were characterized by important place men held in society and in women's lives. These women stood out by proving that they were as valuable as men and that they did not need them to live.
