Beautifully written poems. I also learned a few new names of some wonderful and brave women that I had not heard about before! I will definitely use this book in library programming.

I didn’t realize when I first picked this up that each of the entries were in poetry form, but I loved it! And it was very cool to see the different styles of art on each page too. This is a solid pick for a “girl power” book!

There is so much to love in this book: the artistry, the poetry, the women selected, and every single one of those womens’ accomplishments. I love the variety: firefighting, astronaut, investigative journalist, spy, advocate, architect, athlete, librarian & story teller, spies, and research scientist. Some names you’ll recognize but many you will have not heard before.
Wonderfully researched and carefully noted. Plus, there is a timeline and section of sources/additional resources. The story of each woman is told through a brief poem; so much conveyed with so few words. Each woman also is illustrated by one of 13 illustrators who contributed their artistry to the project. This is truly a masterpiece and treasure.

This book brought tears to my eyes. It is a beautiful children's book about women who defied the odds and made changes. Much of it is written as poems, one for each woman. I am excited to share this with my granddaughter
