Kate Pankhurst, descendent of Emmeline Pankhurst, is back with this brilliant, thought-provoking and inspiring book about women who have trail-blazed the mission to respect and protect the environment. From deep in the ocean, through the Antartic to the heart of a Tanzanian forest, women throughout history have made amazing discoveries that have shown us just how amazing the Earth is and how important it is to look after it. Read about how Antartic researcher Edith Farkas helped identify the hole in the Ozone Layer and made the whole world realise the effect of pollution and how Daphne Sheldrick's love for wildlife inspired her to care for young elephants orphaned in the wild. You don't have to travel far to help save the environment. In the Gambia, Isatou Ceesay educates women in local communities about recycling. In the UK, Anita Roddick led the charge for ethical consumerism when she opened her cosmetics store, The Body Shop. These passionate women have shown that all living things matter and that everyone can do something to help save the environment. Filled with stunning illustrations and brilliant facts, Fantastically Great Women Who Saved the Planet is a fantastic introduction to just a few of the women whose work and activisim has shaped the world we live in.
