The heroines of this book are completely different - both in profession, and in character, and in lifestyle. Among them are the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, a global politician whose prestige far exceeded that of any other British leader since Churchill; Valentina Tereshkova is the first female cosmonaut, perceived as a symbol of the era; Vanga is an internationally recognized clairvoyant who used her gift only for good, and many others. It was they, often contrary to social traditions, who managed to become individuals and, moreover, change the world. The stories about each heroine are based on factual materials, but not all of them are widely known. So readers will be able to find a lot of new and unexpected things here.
