A pictorial homage to two dozen "dynamic" and "complicated" American women, many widely known (e.g., Sojourner Truth), others less so (bass guitarist Carol Kaye). Tinari's gouache portraits with DayGlo streaks, shading, and letters accentuate each woman's personality; her face is surrounded by descriptive words that touch on key accomplishments, and a quotation appears on the facing page. Additional brief bios of the women are appended.
