Illustrated by
Miriam Klein Stahl.
Spanning continents and centuries, this is an inspirational and eye-opening tour of female leaders, activists, groundbreakers, and game-changers, most of whom will be unfamiliar to American tweens and teens. Concise, energetic writing captures the heart of each story and tacitly invites further exploration; thick cut-paper portraits on bright backgrounds underscore the book's "rad" vibe. Though the lack of source notes is unfortunate, the breadth of coverage makes this valuable.
