Where's Wollstonecraft

Find the famous women hiding in plain sight with this fun and fiercely feminist riff on Where’s Waldo?, featuring lively illustrations, short biographies of the featured women, and humorous sidebars. A one-of-a-kind gift book for the history lover, story seeker, or curious reader in your life.

For centuries, history has been dominated by kings, conquerors, inventors, and assorted dudes with strong opinions. Meanwhile, countless women were busy changing the world but were left out of the story.

Enter Where’s Wollstonecraft?, a seek-and-find illustrated book inspired by Where’s Waldo?, but with a much-needed plot twist: instead of hunting for one bespectacled guy, you’ll search for groundbreaking women who helped shape the world and somehow missed the major history books.

Your guide is Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century writer and philosopher who basically wrote the original feminist manifesto (A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 1792—no big deal). Follow her through richly illustrated scenes packed with artists, activists, scientists, athletes, politicians, rebels, and troublemakers whose achievements deserve a little more than a footnote. In total, you’ll discover more than a hundred extraordinary women hiding in plain sight—much like they have been in most history books.

Filled with stunning illustrations, surprising stories, and enough feminist trivia to make your high school history teacher nervous, Where’s Wollstonecraft? celebrates the women who refused to stay in the background—even when the history books tried to put them there.

Find the women. Question the narrative.
