Feche seus olhos e pense numa pirata. Agora imagine uma espiã. Ou uma presidenta. Pense numa guerreira em ação. Uma grande pintora ou na maior jogadora de futebol de sua época. Estas são apenas algumas das mulheres incríveis que você encontrará neste livro. São 44 perfis de mulheres extraordinárias, numa coleção de histórias que começa em 430 antes de Cristo e alcança os dias de hoje. Da Mesopotâmia até a Antarctica, Mulheres Incríveis conta a história de vida de jovens e adultas transgressoras, que subverteram leis, lutaram por menos desigualdade entre gêneros e ajudaram a construir um futuro melhor para todos nós.

"An international array of badass women through the ages and up to the present.

Though Schatz reaches back to Enheduanna, the first named author in history, and Pharaoh Hatshepsut, most of the nearly 300 women she names have shown their courage and convictions within the past century or so. Most are just names (with country of origin), but she selects around 60 for admiring profiles. Some are such familiar figures as Frida Kahlo and Malala Yousafzai, but many more are likely to be new to most, and not just younger, readers, such as Colombian street artist Bastardilla, British punk trailblazer Poly Styrene, and Dame Katerina Te Heikoko Mataira, a leader in the modern revival of Maori language and culture. The author also pays tribute to groups, such as the first 14 Madres de la Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, the six women charged with inventing ENIAC’s initial programming, and, poetically, the millions of stateless refugees. Arranged in a rough geographical order, the profiles open with tagline quotes, plus black-and-white-paper portraits based on photos or historical images, and run to one or two double-columned pages in length. Though an afterword lays claim to much research and personal contact, there are no specific sources cited. Still, it’s clear enough that these women lead or led “awesome, exciting, revolutionary, historic, and world-changing lives.”

More inspiration than documentation but definitively global in scope, a happy contrast to so many Eurocentric “world” surveys. (Collective biography. 11-15)" From Kirkus Reviews, www.kirkusreviews.com

Reading about 40 rad women from around the world definitely lifts up a girl's spirit. If you thought that this is a man's world and women cannot reach places, this book will make you realize that women have done great things and can do so in the future as well.

Before reading this book, I knew only 10 of the 40 women listed. It was great to learn about others. This book left me with awe and an "I can reach my goals no matter what" attitude.

I did feel that a lot of amazing women were left out, but that is bound to happen when you try to fit in people from different fields and different parts of the world. Still, I did like the diversity. I would highly recommend this book.

Note: I'd like to thank the publisher for giving me a free copy of this book. This review is my personal opinion and has not been influenced in anyway by anyone. ( )

Mujeres radicales del mundo cuenta historias frescas, atractivas e increíbles de perseverancia y éxito radical combinando biografías bien investigadas y fascinantes con retratos poderosos y expresivos. El libro presenta diversas figuras desde el 430 a. C. hasta 2016, abarcando 31 países en todo el mundo. Este libro visualmente deslumbrante es una convincente aportación a la historia de las mujeres y debería estar en el estante de cada escuela, biblioteca y hogar. Juntas, estas historias muestran el inmenso rango de lo que las mujeres han hecho y pueden hacer. ¡Que todos tengamos el valor de ser radicales!
