Heroines Every Child Should Know by Hamilton Wright Mabie audiobook.
Genre: biography
Heroines Every Child Should Know (also published as Heroines That Every Child Should Know) is a spirited collection of short, vivid portraits of brave women and legendary figures, edited for young listeners by Hamilton Wright Mabie (with co-editor Kate Stephens). Moving from the world of classical myth into the pages of recorded history, the book gathers stories of courage that take many forms: loyalty to family and conscience, steadfast resistance in moments of danger, compassion under pressure, and quiet endurance that changes lives. You will meet heroines whose names echo through ancient drama, alongside women who stepped forward in real crises - from wartime and revolution to shipwreck rescues and the hard, practical work of nursing and public service. Each chapter focuses on a single heroine, presenting the defining choices that shaped her reputation and the ideals she came to represent. Written in a clear, moral, story-forward style, the collection invites children (and the adults listening with them) to ask what heroism looks like in everyday life, and how character can matter as much as triumph.
