Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World by Pénélope Bagieu
4.0
Hard to rate. I mean, I have to love it pretty much on principle. She seemed to try to make the collection inclusive, and the mix of recent modern and historical figures was a nice change. Bouncing around also kept it from getting too dark despite all the struggles.
(I was not a huge fan of the art, it weirded me a little that the same figures could be shown as light or dark or just outlines, and wonder if it might not be the best choice if it comes off as whitewashy on POC.)
One thing I desperately missed was any sort of footnoting or bibliography. Like Agnodice, while it's a great story, is generally considered a legendary figure. I think I've been spoiled by the citations of rejected princesses!
