My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book had just the right amount of backstory and what these women (some well known, some not as much) had contributed to our world. I appreciated that the range of women were not just recent, not just in the United States, and not just scientists or great mathematical minds. But rather, they were all women who truly believed in a cause or believed in themselves to make a difference. I would say that I was surprised at just who Penelope decided to add in the book, but I'm sure people would say the same of me. And I also enjoyed the fact that the story lines were not too long, easy to follow, and kept my interest in every single one of them. A few of them I even did more research to learn more of these women. Very interesting to read.
