Description

Belarusian history is like a treasure trove of secrets. It preserves countless names of people who made a significant impact on the world around them. We would like to pay special attention to active, creative and intelligent women who remained invisible to society for many years. And yet each of them is unique. Let this book be your trusted guide: it will take you on an amazing journey and introduce you to the legacy that women have preserved through the centuries.

The first volume of “Secret Legacy” contains seven stories about extraordinary Belarusian women who lived in different eras, starting from the 15th century. These women are rarely mentioned in school textbooks. However, they played a significant role in the history of Belarus and the whole world.

The purpose of the book is not only to introduce them through fairy tales, but also to show that every woman is unique and can be different. Her role need not be limited to cooking and raising children. She can rule the country, found a theater, heal the sick, take part in uprisings – and much more!

“Secret Legacies” are not just educational stories, they are inspiring stories.

Note: The ByProsvet initiative is considered an extremist organization in Belarus – it is dangerous to bring the book into the country.
