Women have made their mark throughout history but, we sometimes forget about them and their story. Take, for
example, the women who helped NASA, Marie Curie, or Ada Lovelace, women
who excel in their field but, were sometimes forgotten. This book
introduces readers to twenty-one women who challenged the status quo and made their voices heard. These women are artists, business innovators to social justice advocates.
The inspiring book is filled with facts about women who help inspire and change the world.
I found the book to be an interesting read to learn about these women
lives. However, I was a bit disappointed that each one woman doesn't
have an illustration. Overall, a good inspirational read for both
children and adults.
