Shaking Things Up: 14 Young Women Who Changed the World by Susan Hood
5.0
There is so much to love in this book: the artistry, the poetry, the women selected, and every single one of those womens’ accomplishments. I love the variety: firefighting, astronaut, investigative journalist, spy, advocate, architect, athlete, librarian & story teller, spies, and research scientist. Some names you’ll recognize but many you will have not heard before.
Wonderfully researched and carefully noted. Plus, there is a timeline and section of sources/additional resources. The story of each woman is told through a brief poem; so much conveyed with so few words. Each woman also is illustrated by one of 13 illustrators who contributed their artistry to the project. This is truly a masterpiece and treasure.
