Bookroo's summary

Explore the stories of 15 remarkable women who transcended their eras to be immortalized on currency. From Cleopatra's coins to Ichiyō Higuchi's yen note, each biography reveals the journey and impact of these trailblazers. Uncover the cultural and historical contexts that led to their recognition and ponder the legacy they left behind. What does it take to be etched into the fabric of a nation's economy? Dive into the lives of these extraordinary figures and the currencies that celebrate them.

From the publisher

Queen Cleopatra had coins made with her face on them. Japan put writer Ichiyō Higuchi on the 5,000 yen note more than 100 years after her death. And Eva Perón was the first Argentine woman on a bill. These biographies examine 15 extraordinary women who have appeared on coins or bills–and how they got there. Each inspiring story also digs deeper into different currencies and the customs of the time period.
