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

4.0

Like most collective biographies, this book does not delve too deeply into the subjects' lives, but it is a great introduction to history's famous bad girls. The writing is simple, almost at a middle grade level, but the subject matter is more young adult. I really enjoyed Guay's illustrations and the short comics at the ends of the chapters, although I wish there had been even more debate over the badness of the women featured. Still, the seed is planted, and hopefully this will inspire teens to draw their own conclusions about these famous females.
