This does a great job introducing a really wide range of women from history to present, with decent photos and succinct summaries. It's a great resource for younger kids, I think, because it works so well as an introduction. It definitely left me wanting more information about the women I was unfamiliar with, so it's a bit light on details. But I think that's purposeful, and it would work wonderfully to read with a kid and ask them which women they'd like to know more about. The other great thing about reading this is that you finish feeling pretty fantastic about women in general. It's a wonderful read for a day when you feel down about things like sexism; it will put in you in a great mood!… (altro)
