5.0
The illustrations in this book are beautiful and highlight the fascinating stories of these truly amazing women. I bought a copy because I know some of the authors, but also because it's a perfect fit in my literacy classroom. Every week I find a reason to take it off the shelf and browse it with one of my students, whether to discuss what a good biography looks like or to learn about someone new and local.
Switzerland was long overdue for a book that celebrated the achievements of its own women, both within and outside the country. What better time to bring those stories to light in a single volume than the 50th anniversary of winning the right to vote? I see how excited my students get when they read about women making a difference, and I know this book will have an impact on young Swiss minds.
