Persistence and the willingness to make mistakes are key characteristics of all the women described – and are excellent qualities for all children to aspire to. The women in Vashti Harrison’s book certainly fill this criteria, and Harrison takes pains to remind us that with great acclaim comes years of hard work – and, sometimes, the acclaim is rather late in coming at all, especially for women. What is a visionary? We usually think of people who dare to dream and think outside the box: to see things differently, and change the way everyone else sees the world.
