She blazed a path, it's true, yet women weren't hired here 'til 1982!

Often times in history women get looked over and are not given the recognition they deserve. This book can be used not only to educate students on a few women who impacted the world, but can be used to spark research on other women who changed the world.

Poem's about 14 women who shaped history and changed the world even in the face of discrimination and adversity. Each poem has a unique art style to highlight the woman it is talking about. This book would be a great way to expose students to just a few of the prominent women that have made an impact on the world.

These ❤️ if you show him all the small acts of goodness and the good people in the struggle, it‘s helpful. Find books about people that are just about life. That‘s helpful too. These pictures show the good in the fight. But find books that are just about the everyday life too.

There is a lot going on here - biography, poetry, art... Some poems worked better than others, but all introduced compelling women, some that I didn‘t know much about. Intriguing art, too. My daughter‘s favorite poem was the very clever concrete shape poem about paleontologist Mary Anning.

Beautiful dust jacket & equally beautiful cover underneath, needless to say, but what‘s inside is even better. The book introduces 14 young women, their stories each illustrated by a different artist, in a marvelous collection of poems. There is the first known female firefighter in the US, a young paleontologist, a librarian, investigative journalist, astronaut, anti-hunger activist & more. Beautiful and informative. Great addition to library.
