Telling the Stories History Tried to Erase
History doesn't erase heroines. It just needs someone to remember them!
Hi, I’m Suzanne Franco — an author with a fierce passion for uncovering the silenced voices of history.
My mission is simple: to honour real-life heroines whose stories have been buried, distorted, or forgotten.
Through historical fiction, I breathe life into women like Sarah Bartmann and Valliamma Mudliar — powerful figures who endured unimaginable injustice, yet never let go of their dignity, courage, or purpose.
I believe stories can shift perspectives, ignite empathy, and stir action. That’s why I write — to reclaim HERstory and inspire a new generation of readers who value truth, strength, and the unstoppable spirit of women who dared to rise.
Whether you’re here to download a book, learn more about these remarkable women, or simply feel inspired — welcome.
You’ve just joined a growing movement of readers who believe the past still matters — and that one story can change everything!
