“Books are a weapon. A peaceful weapon perhaps, but they are a weapon.” - Mariama Bâ

This collection was absolutely amazing. I knew I would automatically love this book when it started with my fave SZA. There are so many great women in this book, and I was constantly googling to learn more about them. I felt so inspired by so many of their stories, and I loved how this story included Muslim women from all kinds of backgrounds and even different time periods. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous too. I definitely see me making this a coffee table book that everyone can see, especially because it's easily formatted so that you can read a story or two at a time.
