It’s one of the most incredible stories in all of history.

Two thousand years ago, in Ancient Greece, a little girl is born into the harshest life possible. Through the power of philosophy, she not only liberates herself from slavery but she frees the minds of millions of people in the centuries that follow...

And now, that parable has been illustrated and told for all ages in a new book: The Girl Who Would Be Free.
