This is an amazing, empowering collection of women throughout history and their 'fight' against the patriarchal society in which they find themselves. It works as a non linear book; you can delve in and read one section and keep coming back. Or, as in my case, devour it in a chronological main course of reading.

This book was so empowering and exciting. It was really cool to learn about different friendships around the world and across time. I’ve been loving the female friendship trend out there lately so this book was perfect. Definitely recommend!

An enjoyable light touch on the theme of leading women and women's groups in history. The tone is conversational and easy to read, however, the chatty tone wasn't to my taste as I had hoped for something that delved a little deeper into these fascinating groups.

I was surprised to see that this was marketed as an adult non-fiction title as I think this would be best aimed at older children and YA audiences.
