This was really good! I started reading it because I thought it might take me a long time but I loved learning about why it makes no sense that we are in a patriarchal society, and was appalled to learn all the facts about women still treated unfairly today. I think it is so important for people to read this because it shows how great women can be, but how unequal they still are, and how we desperately need to change that. (It also kind of explains why boys are so... immature? And how they are more at risk.)
I really recommend this.

This is a light-hearted look at the contribution of women to sport, science, politics and culture throughout History. Quite entertaining and funny, and a very easy read.

A fun read. A bit too close to biological essentialism at time which I wasn't a fan of, but a great way to tell loads of stories about women doing really really cool stuff.

I first read this when I was about 9 or 10 and it has stuck with me for 5 years. It taught me a lot about great women who didn't get the recognition they deserved and showed me that I could do what I want, my gender not mattering when it comes to accomplishment. It also gave me an insight into how racism and sexism has affected the lives of many throughout history and still affects people's potentials today.
I understand how some people could see it degrading men but personality I think that the book is meant to show younger girls (like myself) that they can achieve high if they want to.
