10 Dead Gals You Should Know
Leaving an Enduring Legacy
Ian J. Maddock and Rachel Ciano
10 fascinating bite–sized biographies

Follow–up to ‘10 Dead Guys You Should Know’
Spanning two millennia and multiple continents, these stories will introduce you to great women in the history of the Christian faith. For some of these women their faith cost them their lives, for some their call was to a long life of service. They are: Mary mother of Jesus, Perpetua, Catherine of Siena, Jane Grey, Anne Hutchison, Anne Dutton, Selina Countess of Huntingdon, Catherine Booth, Gladys Aylward, Corrie Ten Boom. Each has left an indelible legacy on the church and is worth knowing.
