Zareen Roohi Ahmed's new book, 'The Gift' is her tale of overwhelming resilience, determination and purpose and the life-changing impact she has had on many. After tragically losing her daughter Halimah in 2007, instead of succumbing to the pain, Zareen channelled her grief into action, established a charity in Halimah’s honour and dedicated herself to helping women and girls around the world. Throughout 'The Gift', Zareen outlines how she made her purpose a reality, sharing her vision for tackling period poverty, one of the most pervasive issues affecting women and girls worldwide, and revolutionising the fem-care industry with accessible, safe and sustainable period products. She explores the creation of her unique range of toiletries, from establishing Gift Wellness as a business to researching the product formula and distributing period products to displaced women and women in crisis through the Gift Wellness Foundation. 'The Gift' is also a tender and moving account of Zareen’s commitment to continuing Halimah’s legacy - a passion for Third World Development, social enterprise and education. Establishing The Halimah Trust in her name, Zareen writes about the process of setting up The Halimah School of Excellence and Halimah College in Pakistan which provides education for 1000 girls aged four to eighteen, plus the ongoing impact the charity has on communities there. A story of undeniable strength, impressive innovation, and overwhelming heart, 'The Gift' is an inspiring and thought-provoking story of how one woman transformed personal loss into an entrepreneurial journey that has touched the lives of many across the globe.

There have been countless incredible women who have changed the world for the better, yet most people have never even heard of them. Women throughout history have fought for their rights and the rights of others, defended their countries during wartime, healed the sick and the wounded, invented new technologies, led countries, made inspiring art, and so much more. This collection of biographies and quick trivia facts will tell the stories of the courageous and tenacious women who have paved the way for the women of the future. Although women—especially women of colour—have largely been excluded from our history books, these unsung heroes have always been there. By reading their stories, we preserve their legacies and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
