Description

Torchbearers 1: Ingrid, Thuli, Grizelda

Torchbearers; heroic women; inspiring women of South Africa. This amazing series contains the stories of 12 women who deserve to be celebrated; women that will inspire anyone. From well-known women like Thuli Madonsela, Caster Semenya and Vanessa Govender, to more unsung heroes such as Grizelda Grootboom and Suna Venter. The women who are featured in these stories are trailblazers; inspiration for every South African woman and girl. They swim against the stream and empower others. Linki Brand’s artful illustrations of the women reinforce this, and the bright and modern use of colour is a shameless celebration of women – perfect for the time we live in. This series is a must have for every young reader. The books can be bought individually or in a beautiful box set that is a wonderful collector’s item.
