Bought it for my kids, but I have perhaps enjoyed it most! It's a great way to spark conversation, imagination, and research into women who changed the world. And is a wonderful reminder that "bad girls" have been a powerful force for change throughout history.

Excellent histories of women who stepped outside the male appointed cultural myth and lived as themselves first. A joy to read.
