    • Gemeinsam an die Spitze: Frauenpower aus drei Jahrhunderten beleuchtet die überraschenden Verbindungen zwischen erfolgreichen Frauen durch 85 fesselnde Lebensgeschichten. Kate Hodges thematisiert nicht nur bekannte Persönlichkeiten wie Queen Victoria und Marie Curie, sondern auch jene, die im Stillen Großes bewirkten. Die Erzählungen umfassen Spioninnen, die geheime Informationen transportierten, Filmstars, die technologische Grundlagen schufen, und Sklavinnen, die viele in die Freiheit führten. Hinter jeder starken Frau steht oft eine andere, die sie unterstützt hat. Das Buch thematisiert ungewöhnliche Frauenfreundschaften, heimliche Vorbilder und mutige Allianzen sowie den langen Kampf für Frauenrechte und Feminismus vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute. Die Leserinnen werden auf eine Reise durch drei Jahrhunderte mitgenommen, um einflussreiche, starke Frauen und ihr geheimes Netzwerk kennenzulernen. Trotz Spott und Ignoranz ließen sich diese Powerfrauen nicht beirren und inspirieren bis heute im Kampf gegen Benachteiligung und Unterdrückung. Die ausdrucksstarken Illustrationen von Sarah Papworth unterstreichen die Stärke jeder Einzelnen und machen das Buch zu einem kraftvollen Werk für Mädchen und Frauen.

      The sun has gone down, but that doesn’t mean that family fun has to come to an end. On A Starry Night is an inspiring collection of 52 things to do, make and play when there’s very little or no natural light, and the evenings feel long and empty. There’s something incredibly alluring about playing after dark for kids – it feels grown-up, exciting, and a little bit scary. This will include ideas for indoor and outdoor fun, things to do in all seasons, and ideas that will work whether you live in a city, town or country. It will inspire parents to go beyond sitting their kids in front of the TV, and to take back the night and be creative with their evenings as a family. Fun, light, but with plenty of practical information, this book will include checklists, box-outs and spaces to make notes and scribble. It’ll be aimed at families, but simple enough for older children to read and enjoy.

From feminist fairies to bloodsucking temptresses, half-human harpies and protective Vodou goddesses, these are women who go beyond long-haired, smiling stereotypes.

Lovingly retold and updated, Kate Hodges places each heroine, rebel and provocateur fimly at the centre of their own narrative. Players include: Bewitching, banished Circe, an introvert famed and feared for her transfigurative powers. The righteous Furies, defiantly unrepentant about their dedication to justice. Fun-loving Ame-no-Uzume who makes quarrelling friends laugh and terrifies monsters by flashing at them. The fateful Morai sisters who spin a complex web of birth, life and death. Find your tribe, fire your imagination and be empowered by this essential anthology of notorious, demonised and overlooked women.
