A fine book and I like the message. I think if I was reading this with children at school some of them would love it. I wish there’d been a little bit more on each person. The illustrations are beautiful though!

خیلی زیبا و رویایی بود. پر از داستا‌ن‌های خوب و نقاشی‌های خیلی قشنگ!
خوندنش رو به همه توصیه می‌کنم واقعاً. مخصوصاً نوجوون‌ها. :)

Well, it's time to change the ancient "Fairy Tale" and here comes some brand new stories about 100 fabulous, extraordinary and courageous women from Elizabeth-I to Serena Williams illustrated by 60 female artists from all over the world and I just loved theirs mind blowing works! And I loved every single story of this book!!

Every female child should read this book because the books we read as children can have a remarkable impact on our personal development. Our beliefs, thinkings, aspirations, behavior, values and morals can all be shaped by the delightful pages we earnestly absorbed during our growing up.

So read this book to your little girl. Perhaps, one day, she herself will become an Inspirational Story!

I honesty wish, I had this book when I was growing up!!

Thank you Elena Favilli!
Thank you Francesca Cavallo!
Thank you so much for this amazing book!!

Sure, I don't think all of these women are flawless examples, but I think it is fine. After all, we don't erase, for example, male politicians from history lessons because they are problematic. If anything, it can be used to open up a conversation. This is a book I wish I had as a child. (The illustrations are gorgeous, and I spent a lot of time comparing the different styles!)

Este libro cuenta brevemente la vida de 100 mujeres y su importancia para la historia. Está escrito como cuentos de hadas porque esta diseñado para nenxs pequeñxs pero yo, con mis 23 años, quedé impresionada al darme cuenta que no conocía a la gran mayoría.
Cómprenselo a sus hijas, nietas, sobrinas, madres, tias, primas, etc. Pero háganse un favor y léanlo primero.
informative inspiring fast-paced

This is one of the most beautiful books I own! So inspiring and a must-read for all young girls and women!

Overall I liked it and I think it would be an awesome book to read to young girls. I enjoyed the artwork from the different female artists which added a nice touch. I was very impressed with the list of women chosen, there were women from diverse faiths, nationalities, fields, races, and time periods. I did have two small problems with the book that kept it from being 5 stars. First, for the most part everything was well written, but there were several noticble instances where really casual phrasing or slang was used that didn't fit into the life sketch they were giving. Second, the book would allude to things like rape, asassination, lesbian relationships, etc., but had to keep it kid friendly, so I found myself constantly having to look up the people on Wikipedia to get the full non-kid friendly story. This book made me really want an adult version with more complete, but still brief descriptions of the women's lives.

Obviamente a mis 22 años los cuentos no me encandilaron ni nada, pero sí dieron pie a que buscase toda la información posible sobre las increíbles mujeres que aparecen en este libro. Y eso era justo lo que quería.
