by Federica Magrin, illustrated by Isabella Grott
ou don’t need a mask or cloak to be a hero, and you don’t
Yneed superpowers, either–just courage, determination, and
hard work. Throughout history, there have been many so-called
“ordinary” people who used their talents to make our world a bet-
ter place. Here are 20 such men and women, from suffragettes
and scientists to aviators, artists, and activists. Some had to over-
come great challenges, and others had to try and try again, but all
ultimately succeeded in their revolutionary achievements. Best
of all, you can be a superhero, too—with or without your cape!
What is a superhero? Meet 20 real people who
have accomplished incredible things—and
discover your own special powers!
