This book has too many words! I only rate it a three because I like that it talks about a wide range of women, from activists to queens. The book is divided in a way that is reader-friendly. If you want to read about Harriet Tubman, you just go to her section. The empress of China, Tz'u-hsi, has a section. Joan of Arc, and Golda Meir have sections. I like how the book is organized, and how it honors women from all over the planet! However, I got really tired when I was reading this book. Many times I lost my place. Other times I would read an entire page and recall nothing! I think this book will stay in my classroom library, as a resource. Sometimes students are asked to write a biography, and some of these women may be of interest to them. ( )

Each chapter opens with date of birth, date of death, along with where they lived and a quick recap of what they were extraordinary for.

Drawings are included of the women and done in a way that reflects their larger-than-life personalities.

Overall, I think this would make a great resource for Women’s History Month.

I believe this book would be appropriate for upper elementary or middle school classrooms. This book focuses on the historical accounts of many influential women ranging from Cleopatra to Elizabeth I to Eleanor Roosevelt. This book would work greatly in conjunction with women's history month as students will learn about numerous queens, warriors, first ladies, and much more. After reading this book, students can create their own biographies about a women they find important or influential in their lives, focusing on the elements of a biography. For example, a student can choose to write about their grandmother, and include things such as personal information, interests, hobbies, life changing moments, etc, by researching or interviewing their chosen person.

Great text to use during Women's History month. I think the cheeky title may appeal to students or at least get them to pick up the book. ( )

Simple, fun, and interesting. This book provided a nice light read that I managed to learn a little from. I liked it quite a bit. ( )
