A fun and fiercely feminist riff on Where's Waldo?, Where's Wollstonecraft? is an illustrated seek-and-find book that challenges readers to find the famous and famously forgotten women hidden in plain sight. With lively illustrations, short biographies of the featured women, and humorous sidebars, it's a one-of-a-kind gift book for the history lover, story seeker, or curious reader in your life.
Dudes have had the spotlight for centuries. They're all over art and music and politics and science. And the results have been... mixed. Who (and what) have we been missing the whole time?
Enter Where's Wollstonecraft?, a seek-and-find illustrated book inspired by Where's Waldo?, but with a much-needed plot twist: instead of hunting for one bespectacled guy, you'll search for groundbreaking women who helped shape the world and somehow missed the major history books.
Your guide is Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century writer and philosopher who basically wrote the original feminist manifesto (A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 1792?no big deal). She leads readers through vibrant, detail-packed scenes across history, where female trailblazers are hiding in plain sight. From major names like Frida Kahlo, Florence Nightingale, and Billie Jean King to lesser-known ones like Maya Lin, Phoolan Devi, and Wilma Mankiller, this book celebrates women whose influence is enormous, even if their recognition hasn't been.
Packed with over a hundred activists, scientists, artists, mathematicians, politicians, and cultural icons, Where's Wollstonecraft? spotlights the women who challenged the rules, broke records, made noise, and changed everything, often without getting the credit. Along the way, witty asides tackle everything from makeup and high heels to the ongoing "are we there yet?" state of gender equality (spoiler alert: nope).
With vibrant full-color illustrations and a sharp sense of humor, this is history made fun: fiercely, joyfully, and on its own terms. Perfect for history buffs, curious readers, gift-givers, classrooms, and anyone who's ever looked at history and wondered who got left out. Where's Wollstonecraft? is a brilliant, hands-on celebration of the women who changed the world.
