This title includes the biographies of fifteen women whom the author feels that history overlooked.  The book has three sections; these are The Innovators, The Change-Makers and The Ceiling Breakers.  Readers will learn more about Ada Lovelace, Ida B Wells, Marsha P Johnson and Madam C J Walker, among others.  Each entry is informative and readable and comes with an illustration of the woman being described.


This is a good anthology and one that covers a wide time range.  It seems to me that it should have a place in school or home libraries as an introduction to each of these pioneers.  The interested reader may then want to pursue additional research on their favorites.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

An interesting self help book about self confidence. I recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley. I was not required to write a positive review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.

No thanks, not for me. I found this book to be unreadable and insulting. The amount of curse words including the "F" word used repeatedly is a desperate ploy to obtain attention. There are so many worthwhile books on this subject and it is unfortunate that you chose this one.
