This International Women’s Day, we are spotlighting the women who have made a lasting impact on the world. Whether through culture, science, education, or music, these women have cemented their place in history as revolutionaries and pioneers in their fields. Join us in celebrating their achievements and honouring their continuing legacy.
Literary Legends
Some names need no introduction. Discover our Embellished Manuscripts Collection through designs inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion and Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, two novels that have stood the test of time and remain among the most celebrated works of literature ever written.
Other remarkable voices who shaped the literary world include Virginia Woolf and Emily Dickinson. Our cover designs honour their enduring influence, with The Waves (Volume 3), The Waves (Volume 4), and Emily Dickinson, I Died for Beauty becoming staple Paperblanks journals. Through these designs, we hope readers can express their own admiration for the women who helped redefine how literature is written, read, and understood.
Childhood Classics
Two classic book series that shaped generations of girls around the world are Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren and Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies. Both capture the spirit of childhood imagination and independence, becoming formative stories for many readers growing up.
Scientific Genius
Marie Skłodowska Curie was a Polish-born, naturalized French scientist best known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. Our Marie Curie, Science of Radioactivity design celebrates this remarkable woman, whose determination, intellect, and discoveries secured her place in scientific history.
Musical Powerhouse
Our Amy Winehouse, Tears Dry cover pays tribute to the iconic artist whose voice left an unforgettable mark on music. Though her time on stage was brief, her work continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. We are proud to honour her legacy through this design.
International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary contributions women have made across every field. We are proud to honour the enduring legacies of these inspiring figures and to share their stories through our designs.
