An enjoyable read that focuses on the achievments of many great women throughout history. Books such as this (Great Women who Changed the World and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls) are really rising in popularity lately and I can imagine this book amongst them.

I know A Woman is a book that connects the lives of incredible women throughout history. Featuring women such as Hedy Lamarr, Harriet Tubman and Fanny Mendelssohn, I Know A Woman features women you may know, but women you may not from a diverse range of backgrounds that makes for a such a good read.

Each page has a short biography of each woman, telling us what each one did but also the women they worked or associated with, which then connects us to the next page of the book - it’s a book that makes you curious and then feeds it as we see each woman connecting to another throughout the book in sheer brilliance from the start.

Accompanying these words is the work of Sarah Papworth. Papworth really brings, with her art these women back to life throughout this I Know A Woman. Her artwork for women such as Amy Johnson, Anita Garibaldi and Chien Shiung-Wu are just three of the pages I remember standing out, however this book is filled with stunning images of incredible women through the ages.

I am here for picture books for adults, and this one is going to start my collection.

I really liked this book a lot. I like reading short, simple biographies sometimes. For that purpose, it's definitely very good. Also, it allows you the chance to see which ones you're interested, sot hat you can go read more about them rather than all of them.
In addition, one advantage of the book was it's suitable foe a smaller age group around 10 years old too. The graphics are very nice, and the writing is enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend it.

I loved the idea behind this book. I really liked the connections made between the different woman in history and time.
However, overall to me it doesn't stand out as an adult book. The biographies were 'bite size' and quite simple. I'd love to read a bit more about those important women.
Still, I would buy this book to anyone over 8-10 years old. I like the idea, I like the graphics and overall this is a short and very enjoyable read.

A whimsically illustrated book of badass women. The influence of powerful women to each other was thought provoking. Included are profiles on women such as Hedy Lamarr, Josephine Baker, Michelle Obama, and Virginia Woolf. It would make a cute graduation gift.

3.5 Stars.

I really liked the way this book was organized (each subject was connected in someway to the subject preceding her), although some of the connections between subjects were stretches. The interesting way of organizing the book was definitely the stand-out feature. The profiles were short and really only provided brief overviews of each woman's life. I think this book would be enjoyed most by preteens who aren't looking for as much in depth information - I know I would've loved it when I was 10/11.
