Because there's always a need for 'bad girls" and always a reason to celebrate remarkable women.

I'm surprised how many of these women I had never heard of. A great jumping off point for further research.

Good range of people highlighted and beautifully illustrated. There were somethings left out about women in the book, but given how brief the summaries were that is forgivable.
hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Introduced me to a number of strong women I had not heard of.

Overall it’s a nice book and you can learn about girls you didn’t have a chance to see before. But let’s be real, it’s like someone crop Wikipedia pages and put them into one book.

P.s you can’t make this with Tina Fey, but miss out Bette Davis, the OG bad girl. Shame, shame, shame

Nije ovo tako loša knjiga, ilustracije su divne i lep je trubute tim ženama. Međutim ovo je lepo samo ako se ima u fizičkom obliku, inače izgleda kao da je neko članke iz Vikipedije stavio na jedan papir -bukvalno tako.

I really enjoyed this books since we are not taught about the accomplishments of women, as they are systematically eliminated from history. Therefore any book that enlightens us of groundbreaking women is a must read. The art was also quite beautiful.

Still i wish there had been more variety, most of this women were European or from the United States , and although i understand that it has been the liberalization of this societies which allowed for women to first be avaible to make way in this societies , if the effort is to show us more women the author could've made the effort of researching the first women in their field in more areas of the world.
Including suffragist leaders form other countries and including other roles such as activist and women in independence movements in Latin America and Africa.
