(3) 4-6 This chronological collection begins with seventeenth-century Mexican writer and philosopher Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and concludes with American Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez (born in 2000). Readers meet educators, artists, a spy, politicians, scientists, activists, and more. Menéndez introduces each subject with a full-page stylized image in rich earth tones and a page of conversational text that highlights achievements, challenges, and a bit of personal information. The profiles offer glimpses into the women's lives; select sources for each entry are appended and offer opportunities for further research. Ten additional figures are mentioned at book's end.
