Sommario/riassunto

"Judith Stiehm narrates the remarkable stories of the sixteen women who have won the Nobel Prize for Peace. The third edition includes the compelling life of Malala Yousafzai -who was awarded the prize in 2014. Engaged and inspirational, all of these women clearly demonstrate that there is something each of us can do to advance a just, positive peace"--Back cover.
