      We have a 3.5 year old and this is currently her favorite book. She calls it the book with "the ladies" and "reads" it on her own by flipping through the pages. It's her new favorite bedtime book and we read one or two stories at bedtime each night. A huge, fantastic success.
    • 3/5
      I found it an interesting book. I’m extremely invested in history and it was interesting to see it taken on in a children’s book. There were several details that were left out of the stories, (which are the darker details.) like Elizabeth the first’s several reasons to remain the virgin queen, or the Nazis that found themselves in coco Chanel’s story, or how her mother treated Catherine the great. I know it’s a kids book, so that’s why it’s not there, but it’s still vital to all of their stories.
    • 5/5
      This was a fantastic book. It brought together so many diverse and inspiring stories of accomplished women of every profession. I believe that everyone should have a chance to read this book not just girls it sends out such a powerful message that no matter were your from what gender you are or the color of your skin you can do and be anything you put your mind to.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this more than I expected to. The entries are uneven- some are surprisingly overly simplistic- but most will pique your interest. That is really my biggest issue: there are no citations, source notes, or suggestions for further reading. When each woman gets 3 paragraphs, you do your readers a service by pointing them to more.
    • 4/5
      I love this book -- also like the 2nd one, but not as much. Really inspiring stories about a range of accomplished women from throughout the ages. My daughter is enthralled.
    • 5/5
      Took FOREVER for this one to come up in our library holds but it is 100% worth the wait. Filled with little stories of smart, brave, courageous, persistent stories of women throughout history. It's a tome that I love having in the house right now. Trying to change the 3 year olds narrative around women and beauty. My favourite teaching tool in any circumstance is a really great book! Every little girls should have a copy of this book. It's filled with the usual women you would think of as rebel girls but there are also so, so many that you probably never heard of whose stories are so unique and empowering! Pick it up today!!
    • 3/5
      Mini biographies of various women. It's an American book so a few too many US examples but overall a good spread. The illustrations are generally a bit cartoony, though there are some exceptions, especially the excellent one of Astrid Lindgren. I was especially disappointed that the section on Artemisia Gentilesci didn't use her brilliant "Self Portrait as the Allegory of Painting" as a basis.All in all quite entertaining for kids.
    • 4/5
      Synopsis: There are no stories where Princesses are rescued by Prince's here! This is a collection of 200 females who have succeeded on their own terms, perfect for a good night story to young children. Some are household names; others have very much gone under the radar in the history books. Each female is presented with an illustration and their country and date of birth (and death, if applicable). My Opinion: Although a children's book, I very much enjoyed it as an adult. Some of the lessor-known heroines I googled to get a bit more information on. A quick and enjoyable read.
