Definitely a wow. Brilliantly eclectic selection of women to profile. A few I knew somewhat - Josephine Baker, Nellie Bly, Heddie Lamarr. Some were names I recognized - Mae Jemison, Peggy Guggenheim. But in general these were people I didn't know but wish I had heard of. The tone and length of the bios were just about perfect - detailed, well-written but still fairly short but not too short. There were perhaps a few too many in the book. And the cover of the book had an awful texture. But well worth reading. And the art was good enough not to be distracting. 4.5 of 5.

Livre inspirant que j’aurais aimé pouvoir lire plus jeune. J’ai beaucoup apprécié la diversité des figures choisies. Cependant je n’ai pas totalement accroché au style graphique (mais c’est mon avis perso). Aussi les portraits peuvent parfois manquer de nuances… malgré tout une bonne lecture!

I enjoyed this, I found the art fun, the stories interesting and I'm going to do more research into many of these women because they sound so interesting. Plus, Temple Grandin.
Having said that, I don't think this was completely honest. I don't mean the book is making stuff up, but I don't think it's willing to acknowledge anything these women might have done as bad, which is understandable, but a little bit annoying. Also I disliked the clear disdain for Christianity or any form of conservative morals.
