Honoring women in history brings so many faces and moments in time to mind that have marked history forever: Harriet Tubman, Agatha Christie , Audrey Hepburn , Rosa Parks , Amelia Earhart , Ella Fitzgerald , and Anne Frank just to name a few. All of these women demonstrated great courage and gave a brave fight for what was right as pioneers for justice and equality.

These women were little girls once and they turned their dreams into realities. Sip and Ship is proud to carry these books by creator Isabel Sanchez Vergara. Boldly told and illustrated stories, the books capture views into these women’s lives, their struggles and highlight their legacy for young people to learn about and celebrate. We hope these stories will spark conversation, provide a greater sense of confidence and give a glimmer of hope to you and your little people.

As always, we love seeing you and look forward to sharing stories about Women In History that have impacted you and what you’d like YOUR STORY to be.
Fondly yours,

Diana and Your Sip and Ship Team
