Girl Squads: 20 Female Friendships That Changed History by Sam Maggs

4.0

There have been quite a few titles published in the last few years that give short essays on women (and their accomplishments) that history seems to have forgotten. Girl Squads is the first one I've seen about women supporting women and the accomplishments that were made as a result of that support. The short entries span recorded history and are divided into sections devoted to the arts, science, sports, politics/activism, and warriors. The squads discussed in each section were a mix of known and unknown, and all were fascinating. The title is well-written and the short essays are very readable. I highly recommend it.
