Critics Review
-
So many worthy nonfiction books for this age group have good intentions but fail to step beyond simple preaching with boring line drawings. This one succeeds, thanks to its interesting choice of role models, gorgeous colourful illustrations, a sense of humour and sharp language that informs without patronising
The Times
-
Astounding facts and incredible artwork reveal some of the most brilliant women who have shaped our world
The Bookseller: Special

The book is engagingly presented, with colour illustrations and captivating text mingling to produce a very informative and hugely enjoyable read
Parents in Touch
-
A most fabulously insightful book that should be read by all of your sons and daughters
