The author of Rejected Princesses returns with an inspiring, fully illustrated guide that brings together the fiercest mothers in history--real life matriarchs who gave everything to protect all they loved.

Mothers possess the maternal instinct--an innate fierceness that drives them to nurture, safeguard, fight, and sacrifice for the most important things that matter to them. For some mothers, it's their children. For others, it's artistic expression, invention, social cause, or even a nation that they helped to birth. In Tough Mothers, Jason Porath brings his wisdom and wit to bear on fifty fascinating matriarchs.

In concise, deeply researched vignettes, accompanied by charming illustrations, Porath illuminates these fearsome women, explores their lives, and pays tribute to their accomplishments. Here are famous women as well as lesser known figures from around the globe who have left their indelible mark as they changed the course of history, including:

  • The Mother Who Sued to Save Her Children from Slavery--Sojourner Truth
  • The Mother of Rock n' Roll--Sister Rosetta Tharpe
  • The Mother of Holocaust Children--Irena Sendler
  • The Mothers of The Dominican Republic--The Mirabal Sisters
  • The Mother of Yemen's Golden Age--Arwa al-Sulayhi

A celebration of motherhood and female achievement, Tough Mothers reminds us of the power of women to transform our lives and our world.

Amazing Men Watch
Color: black watch 76
I recently purchased the Olev men's watch, and I’m very impressed with its quality and design. The watch looks elegant on the wrist and feels durable, with a comfortable fit for daily wear. The timekeeping is accurate, and the materials feel premium for the price. It’s perfect for both casual and formal occasions. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a stylish and reliable accessory.

A nice daily watch
Color: red watch for men 76
This watch does look good in person, however, I bought it an extremely discounted price. The band is the same generally accepted, plastic-like band you will find in less expensive watches but it's bright color makes it stand out. The mini dials on the watch face do not move, so I personally would not pay over $100 for any similar watch. (It's original asking price was near 3x's that). I'm happy with it, which is why I still gave it 4 stars. At a low price, I would buy this in other colors to match my outfits.

Stunning Automatic Watch With TopTier Durability and Precision
Color: Grey
“I got this Tissot PRX for my cousin’s birthday and bro fell in LOVE instantly. This thing keeps time like a beast, never slows down, never lags. Automatic movement, so no batteries, no drama. Durability? Stupid good. You can hit it, bump it, live life rough, it still looks box fresh. Size wise it was almost perfect. I just had to remove two links, nothing big. It’s light, functional, comfortable, doesn’t weigh you down, doesn’t get in the way but more importantly I can say this watch is in everyone’s eyesight when we wear it. Cause of course I had to get another one! Basically. I gave him a very nice piece as a gift, and now he’s walking around like he owns Switzerland.
