Girl Squads: 20 Female Friendships That Changed History by Sam Maggs
3.0
I found Maggs’ book a super engaging read and I thought her choice in different female friendships to focus on was refreshingly diverse.
I docked a star for the tone of the book (the voice comes off like an older lady trying to imitate a millennial), but otherwise pretty good.
I especially liked the chapter about the black women of the NACA (later NASA) during the 60s, and how it shed light on two other figures (kathryn peddrew and miriam daniel mann) who the recent movie Hidden Figures omitted. Otherwise, most of the empowering female friendships in this book are relatively unknown, making it all the more interesting to read.
