abigailbat's review against another edition

This book gives short introductions to 20 extraordinary women throughout time. From Cleopatra to Harriet Tubman to Eleanor Roosevelt, the collection is surprisingly diverse, including women from Africa, Asia, India, Latin America, and Native America (although it must be said that a full half of the women are European and/or white American). This is a great choice for women's history units and will likely inspire children to find out more about some of these powerful ladies.

I enjoy this book. Meant for younger readers it gives you just a glimpse of the lives of the famous Women included. Better yet for those seeking more information, you can always seek out the books listed in the resources section at the back.

Krull turns her talents yet once again to lives of
extraordinary people, this time the lives of extraordinary women.
She examines such well known women as Eleanor Roosevelt and Queen
Elizabeth I along with less well known women such as Rigoberta Menchu
and Nzingha. Each chapter is filled with fascinating details about
the women.

This was a great little introduction to some amazing women that have greatly impacted the world throughout history, half of which (or more) I had never heard of. It has inspired me to learn more about them and their incredible lives. After listening to the audiobook, I checked out a physical copy from the library as well to read through it again and take notes.
