(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bee Johnson. Introduction by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This collection of thirty-three short biographies covers Biblical times (Miriam, Deborah) through the twentieth century (Bella Abzug, Nadine Gordimer). The women display a vast range of achievements, approaches to overcoming obstacles, and fields of interest (women of color are notably missing). The main text is more informational than inspirational, but RBG's direct involvement in the project adds cachet. A short blurb following each profile connects the topic to contemporary issues. A closing call to action encourages readers to take an activist approach to current events. Each biography is introduced with a colorfully stylized interpretive portrait.
