“Grandes Mulheres da História: Mulheres extraordinárias cujo legado perdurou até aos nossos dias”
(Great Women of History: Extraordinary women whose legacy has endured to this day) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
“Many women have stood out throughout human history. Great beings who triumphed in a world that was hostile and unfavourable to them and who have marked our society over the centuries with their strength and perseverance. This book deals with important and valued personalities, be they queens, saints, warriors, writers, among others. Many are, fortunately, still recognised and remembered today. Others have unfortunately fallen into general oblivion. That’s why it’s so important to publish works of this style, which praise the female character and present examples of women who have made a difference in the world, presenting them in a unique way and giving brief summaries of their lives and their most important achievements. The biographies presented here are the result of the vision and research of great authors, historians, writers and philosophers who wanted to give their unique perspective on the lives of these women. From Plutarch to David Hume, Edward Gibbon, Thomas De Quincey, Walter Scott and Thomas Carlyle, among others.”

The biographies and memoirs presented here are visions of some of the most important female personalities in history, gathered in a compilation of writings and research by great authors, historians, writers and philosophers. Through them, they intended to enhance the female personality and present a unique perspective of the lives of these women. This book is, therefore, a true repository of the memory that these women left us. Women whose legacy and inspiration left an indelible mark on the world of their time and a trail on the path for future generations. (Alma dos Livros)
