Paul Calver.
Women covers courageous females who "challenged society's ideas about what women can achieve"; Heroes includes both men and women "whose deeds and words made the world a better place." Both books include thirty-six one-page profiles, each facing a pop art–style portrait of the subject; the attractive layouts use bold, bright-colored backgrounds. These introductory collective biographies could spark deeper research. Ind. Review covers these Real Lives titles: Fearless Women and Unsung Heroes.
