Bad Girls: Sirens, Jezebels, Murderesses, Thieves, & Other Female Villains by Jane Yolen, Rebecca Guay

3.0

Illustrated mini-biographies of notorious "bad girls" throughout history. Biographies were brief and accessible, and I liked the splash page illustrations of each subject. Mixed feelings about the little comics in between chapters - they star the two authors (mother and daughter) - in various locations, chatting about whether or not each lady was truly guilty of the crimes of which she was accused. I can see how the authors wanted a way to discuss those interesting gray areas outside of the biographical text, but I wondered if comics starring two adults as they travel, go to the library, and get their nails done might be distancing to younger readers.
