Some interesting choices in this book that might not have put in (Chanel and Mother Theresa come to mind) but a really great collection of amazing women!

This was another good book with short biographies about the lives of women who did notable things at a young age. I liked that a while a lot of the women were known, there was also a diverse cast of lesser known women as well. I also liked that after each woman's story they included a small section which gave the reader a teen girl and how they plan to do good in the world. I would reccomend this mostly for a tween or young teen audience, though older people may also find enjoyment in the stories.

What i liked most about that book was it shed light on forgotten or not widely known women. The writing of characters of the book was mostly average. Few were exceptional, inspiring and gave an interesting story like the Bronte sisters, the Trung sisters, Florence nightingale and Wilma Rudolf.
While the quarter of the characters were just filling for the pages of book. Their stories didn't have much to be told but they were women who were smart without much done in their life to deserve to be mentioned. Which prolonged the length of the book without gaining real use.
Some women i didn't find that they made their way to success with real integrity like Golda Meir, or without having a great support from a man like Evita Peron and Coco Chanel.
I think the writers should have made better efforts on looking for more inspiring lives. Women who had a great, interesting and inspiring story to be told.

5 out of 5 stars.
This book was so informative and well-written.
I really recommend picking this book up, especially if you are someone who has a young daughter. Read it, educate yourself of these wonderful females throughout history, and share it with your daughters (and sons, because the more we teach young kids that gender plays no part in success the better life will be). Show young girls that there are kids just like them who changed the freaking world!
