“Must Read”
RealMediaGloryGirl was inspired by four things. First and foremost, our daughters -all budding heroes (1) in their own right. Then our work with human archetypes, a love for art and visual storytelling, and a lifelong respect and inspiration from heroic women who achieved as much or more in their individual roles versus male contemporaries, from Ruler to General to Physicist but were criminally left at the sidelines of history based on their gender. These were some of our own heroes growing up, and we realized that when we passed them along to our daughters, verbally, and they couldn’t find any source texts, we needed to reintroduce them to the word (as a whole).
What’s Different: Real Women, Real Visual Storytelling, in the Voice & Tone of Each Hero

Second, we don’t pay ourselves from any of the GloryGirl work. (We do pay our illustrators as they’re hand-picked by title, based on both skill and specific style, and hail from everywhere from France to Japan and Indonesia.
