Produktbeschreibung

Along what is now part of the Jurassic Coast, there lived a girl named Mary Anning who inspired not only the title of this book, but the tongue twister of the same name. She was born in 1799, and grew up collecting fossil specimen along with her father and older brother. Mary Anning would be credited with the discovery of the first complete ichthyosaur fossil and the first pterodactyl found in Britain.

In She Sells Seashells by the Seashore: Biographies of 12 Entrepreneurial Women, the second installment in the Notable People in History series, you'll not only learn more about her life… but also the lives of Annie Turnbo Pope Malone, one of the first black women millionaires; Madam C.J Walker who started as a sales agent of Malone's Poro haircare brand and would go to build a beauty empire; Olive Ann Beech, the first woman to receive the National Aeronautic Association's Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy for her contributions to the aviation industry. There's Josephine Baker, Amelia Simmons, Frida Kahlo, Lorraine Hansberry, Hetty Green, considered the single biggest financier in the world among 19th century tycoons such as Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, John D. Rockefeller. You'll meet Maggie Walker, Mahalia Jackson, and Helena Rubinstein.
