I liked this book quite a bit and I would like to see more books like this get published. I do wish it had been a little bit longer and gotten a little more info into each of the women. I liked that a few of the write ups had interviews with really interesting people, like the school teacher of a scientist that helped develop of the vaccine for Covid-19, but a lot of the material overall was the basics I knew. I did like that while I had heard of quite a few of them women chosen for this book there were also several I had not. I also really appreciate that the women were diverse not just with ethnicity but with sexual orientation and with the arenas of their success. I enjoyed that we had everything from political women to social activists to athletes. There is not one path to be strong, but a theme in several of the vignettes the theme was being true to yourself and I think that is the perfect message to send to the young girls that can not read this.
