Revolutionary Women
50 Women of Color who Reinvented the Rules
Revolutionary Women is a celebration of women of colour, centring women who have historically been sidelined. For fans of Ann Shen’s beloved Bad Girls Throughout History, this spiritual successor celebrates the accomplishments of these incredible women alongside Ann’s signature artwork. From dancers, actors, and singers to scientists, astronauts, politicians, and activists, these women used their voices and their passions to change the world.
They include: Gloria Estefan, one of the best-selling female music artists of all time. Anna Sui, an iconic fashion designer for over four decades. Bessie Stringfield, the motorcycle queen of Miami. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever sworn into Congress. Misty Copeland, the first Black woman principal dancer at American Ballet Theater. Joyce Chen, the first Chinese celebrity chef.
Revolutionary Women captures their extraordinary stories in a beautiful and inspiring format that elevates their achievements. Readers will love the new take on Ann’s beloved first book, as well as the uplifting stories, beautiful and rich art, and the inspiration for readers to forge their own paths.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
