520 _aProfiles in the courage of great women, Still I Rise tells fresh, engaging, and amazing tales of perseverance and ultimate success with well-researched and riveting biographies from independent scholar and teacher, Marlene Wagman-Geller. It features an array of diverse figures from the first female African American Inaugural poet, Maya Angelou to Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Nellie Sachs to SCOTUS' own Justice Sonia Sotomayor and natural health entrepreneur and Burt's Bee's co-founder Roxanne Quimby, and sheroic Freedom rider Fannie Lou Hamer who marched and fought for civil rights and women's rights despite jailing and crippling beatings. Teller's book is brimming over with women who overcame all odds and prevailed.--from book cover
520 _aStill I Rise embodies the strength of character of the inspiring women profiled. Each chapter will outline the fall and rise of great women heroes who smashed all obstacles, rather than let all obstacles smash them. The book offers hope to those undergoing their own Sisyphean struggles. Intrepid women heroes are the antithesis of the traditional damsels in distress; rather than waiting for the prince, they took salvation into their own hands.
