Use the posters to decorate the room with coloured portraits of amazing women from history.
Have your students create their own versions by colouring the black-and-white pages.

Each poster and each colouring page includes:

• an illustration of an amazing woman from history

• her name, date of birth and country of birth

• her most important accomplishments

• a few biographical facts from her life, expressed in symbols

The last page offers a template for creating additional posters of amazing women. Ask your
students to create a poster for an inspiring woman from history that was not included in the
list—then display a gallery of their work!
