One hundred great folk tales and fairy tales from all over the world about strong, smart, brave heroines.

It is for men who want to know more about what it means to be a woman. It is for our daughters and our sons, so that they can learn to value all kinds of courage, courage in battle and the courage of love. It is for all of us to help build a more just vision of woman.
