A total rewrite of the 2001 book. ‘A celebration of the world-wide contribution of one hundred Welsh women in fields of literature and the arts, politics and religion, philosophy and industry, pioneering and education, sport and entertainment.’ 'The book is over 400 pages long, but easy to read, as each woman has around 4 pages of her life and achievements described. The book begins with early Welsh saints, including Dwynwen, the Welsh Valentine, and progresses in chronological through to Baroness Carys Davina 'Tanni' Grey-Thompson, the world's most successful paralympic athlete. Thus you can pick it up at any page and immediately be 'hooked' into reading that entry.' 'Having read the excellent 100 Greatest Welshmen I thought I'd give this one a go too. I wasn't disappointed, a true treasure chest of achievements from some amazing Welsh women. Highly recommended.'
