This beautifully illustrated
book features true stories of 40 women creators all over the world. The
women featured ranges from inventors, artists, scientists, and writers
who inspire and educates people. The book includes the famous architect Zaha Hadid, actor Hedy Lamar, physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, and many others.
The
book was artistically done and written beautifully. I found the book to
be inspiring and enjoyable to read. However, I found the book to focus a
lot on women who had an impact on the arts and creative fields. I would
have loved to read more about women who made an impact in the STEM
field. Overall, a good book for young girls to let them know everything
is possible. And, I found it a good read for any adult who needs a bit
of inspiration in their life.
