Rad American Women A-Z: Rebels, Trailblazers, and Visionaries who Shaped Our History . . . and Our Future! | Kate Schatz

so-so

This book had some great representation, being sure to include women from many ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds, one trans woman, one autistic woman, and others. It ended with resources for further reading. The information was great. This didn't feel like a picture book, though. There really weren't illustrations (in the Kindle version), and each woman had several paragraphs of text. #WomensHistory #BooksAboutWomen
