Adding this to the top of my new library book order! I absolutely adored this nonfiction biographical graphic novel. It was so different than any I’d ever read and I learned so much about women from the past that I didn’t know about before. I think our students will connect with many of the 25 women written about in this book and see similarities in them as well. #MaverickList

Filled with a diverse group of women who are excellent examples for all children!

Definitely targeted at children. These short comics don't go into much detail or provide much historical nuance. The work certainly pushes a specific feminist agenda. The similar comic collection Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World is a little better written, but targeted at an older audience. At least this book profiles all females where Brazen features a trans identified male which serves as a slap in the face to female kind everywhere.

These short bios on influential women throughout history are just enough to get young readers to do more research and learn about the ones who interest them. Like other reviewers, I do wish there had been less of a focus on American women but understand why Kazoo handled it that way. I liked that there's a variety of art styles and the intro pages where readers can consider their personal strengths. A MG stepping stone to Penelope Bagieu's Brazen.

I liked this. Some of the stories were more interesting than others, but it was a diverse read.
