What if much of what you thought you knew about innovation and progress was incomplete? What if the notion that “Men Built Everything” was designed and popularized to hide the blood of genius women inventors on the hands of the patriarchy?

You Stand On Her Shoulders rips back the curtain on 50 extraordinary women inventors and pioneers whose names, identities, ideas, and impact were stolen by the petty men around them. From the forgotten mother of Wi-Fi to the visionary who discovered that the Greenhouse Effect was and is killing our planet (Yes, it was a woman), these are the women who shaped the modern world as we know it.

Explore the lives of women who invented everything from everyday essentials to life-saving medical breakthroughs, all while navigating a world designed to diminish their achievements. Each chapter is a testament to their ingenuity and an indictment of the historical erasure that has kept us from knowing these marvels of innovation and their impact on the world we live in.

This essential read challenges the narratives you’ve been taught and offers a powerful, much-needed correction to history. In my humble opinion, this book should make its way to every single woman and girl who has ever had a dream of having an impact on the world. I hope this book rekindles the spark you once had inside you.

Note: 100% proceeds from the book sales will go towards the development and expansion of HerWiki.
