(3) YA Illustrated by T. S. Abe. Sarkeesian and Adams succinctly profile twenty-five influential women across a wide range of fields, ethnicities, time periods, and countries. Each of the five sections ("Rebels," "Scholars," "Villains," "Artists," and "Amazons") includes prominent figures such as Ida B. Wells and Margaret Thatcher, but the focus is on lesser-known women, including eleventh-century Japanese novelist Murasaki Shikibu and nineteenth-century Chinese pirate captain Ching Shih. Graphite portraits accompany the fascinating stories. Bib.
