Trailblazers of the world

Cover of Top 10 Biographies
Top 10 Biographies

As I've mentioned in the past, Booklist does many annual top 10 lists. Today I ran across their new one for biographies with a focus on trailblazers who changed the world. They include a pioneer in gene-editing, sisters who were some of the first women to get medical degrees in the US, Malcolm X and the Black struggle, a brilliant mathematician who suffered from depression, a legendary film director, a dancer and Marie Curie, the three founding women of NPR,  the three mothers of prominent Black leaders, women tv pioneers, and a woman who championed women's rights and mental health reform.

If you are looking for more biographies, then consider subscribing to Thanks for the Memories: Biographies and Memoirs which contains new and notable biographies and memoirs and is published every other month.
