"An interesting and varied collection of women - from Madonna to Maya Angelou. Some of the bios were very sparse and read links something you could see doing a quick Google search rather than being well researched. I had just finished reading Rejected Princesses which I’d recommend more - better research, many more women."

"Just lame. These were all copy and pasted from Wikipedia, and the women chosen are predominantly white, heterosexual, and cisgender. Only two women are listed as LGBT when there are countless others within the book that are documented as gay women, for example Eleanor Roosevelt and Josephine Baker. I learned more from googling the names of unfamiliar to me women than I did from this book."

"This is a very fast read, being just a quick overview of some very remarkable women. That being said, it introduced me to people I had never heard of, and taught me more about some that I already knew. It would be a perfect book for any young girl who's looking for confirmation of how strong women can be."
