This was an absolute delight to read. We don't learn nearly enough about women in history, and this book fills that void beautifully. But it's not just about women and their accomplishments - it's about their friendship, comradery, and bravery against the odds and within systems and communities that often pushed back hard against them.
I hope to see more books like this one in the future. The prose was witty and easy to follow, and each piece was just long enough to give you a clear understanding of who the women were, what they were about, and what they were achieved without getting tediously long or overstaying its welcome. Definitely highly recommended.
