      I loved the mix of narrators (I did the audio from libro.fm), but felt like the stories could have been slightly longer. At just two or three minutes each, they felt like snippets more than stories. That being said, I discovered some women who were heretofore unknown to me and who I will be exploring further, so job well done on that front.

      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.

      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.

      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!!

      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.

      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.

      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.
