Critic reviews
Informative, inspiring and presented with passion and clarity, this is children’s non-fiction at its finest
...the third in Kate Pankhurst’s colourful picture-book celebrations of notable females; with their playful use of speech bubbles and perspective shifts, they remain significantly more engaging and inspiring than the rival Rebel Girls (Imogen Russell Williams on Fantastically Great Women Who Worked Wonders)
It's a tremendously engaging read: smart, informative, inclusive and accessible, with gorgeous, visually creative art. (Fiona Noble on Fantastically Great Women Who Made History)
This one succeeds, thanks to its interesting choice of role models, gorgeous colourful illustrations, a sense of humour and sharp language that informs without patronising
Every element of this book is pieced together perfectly; the amount of information, the fun way it is presented, the illustrations and of course the diverse mix of women. This book should be available in every school and every library and is sure to inspire young people to follow their hearts
An absolute must-have for every young person’s bookshelf
