This book is written for elementary school students, ages 5-12, like Kazoo magazine. And yet, it was still a weak effort in two respects: firstly, the content of each story was very inconsistent. Sometimes you got a profile of the woman's accomplishments, but sometimes not even that. Second, there were only one or two non-American women featured. Too ethnocentric for the 21st century. If you want to read a book about some amazing women, I recommend reading Brazen by Penelope Bagieu instead.
Short little biographies of 25 impressive women by 25 artists of varying talent. Fun and educational.
For fans of Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World (my favorite) and Femme Magnifique.
For fans of Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World (my favorite) and Femme Magnifique.
Gives a good brief overview on the female historical figures.
