There are and have been amazing women throughout history and everywhere in the world (and up in space!). Here is a remarkable collection of fifty women who have been revered as goddesses, had their abilities and accomplishments underestimated, revered as many types of artists, renowned for their actions in politics/world changing movements and more. Neither color nor age can diminish their impact!
The illustrations by Sam Caldwell are clear, informative, delightful, brilliantly colorful, and FUN!
Well suited for reading WITH someone any age from 7 and up including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!

Remarkable Women: Fascinating Facts You Never Knew About Amazing Women! (OH NO THEY DIDN’T), written by Eric Huang and illustrated by Sam Caldwell, features fascinating facts about 50 legends, geniuses, creatives, superstars, leaders, and trailblazers such as Taylor Swift, Frida Kahlo and Mae Jemison, as well as lesser known individuals including Zaha Hadid and many more.
This nom-fiction book features mini biographies of each individual and addresses key misconceptions about how they overcame obstacles as they fought their way to becoming trailblazers in their fields.
This book is a must have for every classroom and a brilliant addition to your home bookshelf.

This book is written in a way that children ages 8 and up all be able to follow along. The book is broken down into different sections not leaving any activist job out. It's bite size information so you never feel overwhelmed. The additional information is interesting and helpful.
I will be adding this to the library and recommending this to any child or adult who is looking for a great starting point about the important women activist.

I’ll start by saying that while I’m not the target audience I did enjoy this book. I enjoyed the range and diversity of women that they included within this book. I really liked the map at the end of the book to look at where these remarkable women came from. This book only gives a very brief description overview of the women that they highlight but it is a good starting point for those who want to discover more women through history and up to today.

This book is written in the style of previous "Oh No They Didn't" books, so that's to be expected, but I did feel like saying "oh no she didn't" and "oh no she hasn't" on each page was a little bit awkward, given that the book is about female trailblazers who likely is were often told "no you didn't" about their achievements. Putting that aside, it's a nice book with some new content in terms of women featured. Of course we see Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie, etc. but also Zaha Hadid. So that was a refreshing take. Overall, pretty good.

Eric Huang does a fantastic job in writing this type of book, it had interesting fact and worked with what was happening. It was a great concept and enjoyed the women used in this.

The book Remarkable Women is remarkably good! Actually, it’s downright amazing. This book has it all- powerful women from our history and ancient civilizations, First Ladies, our favorite singers, and the list goes on. This book is not only informative, but it is told in an engaging way that kids of all ages will love and appreciate.

Remarkable Women was a great book to end 2024 with. The book is targeted to young readers, id say about ages 8-10, but really anyone can read the book to learn about extraordinary women and girls across the globe and throughout history.

The author includes some well known women such as Taylor Swift, Amelia Earheart, and Michelle Obama that most people would know at least a little bit about. But what I appreciated was the inclusion of lesser known women. It was great that so many women from different countries and backgrounds were included. There was also LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent rep too!

The illustrations are very well done. It is apparent that the illustrator took a lot of time and care on each Picture they created for the book. Sometimes these types of books' illustrations come off cartoony, but I didn't feel like that was this case for this one.

If I had a daughter or niece, I would Hands down get a copy of Remarkable Women for them! If you have little ones, this is a must have for their bookshelves.

I thought this was a super fun book! The cover intrigued me with a great variety of women throughout history to give a taste of who’s inside but I wasn’t expecting the amount of women included. I enjoyed how it included different types of women and from all different time periods. My only dislike was ‘oh no they didn’t’ on every page, which felt played out. Definitely learned a bunch and I thought the layout was fun. The timeline at the end was an enjoyable overview for the end. Thank you NetGalley for providing the ability to read this book.

This book covers an impressive range of women, including astronauts, artists, movie stars, and designers. It highlights figures from goddesses and ancient Egyptians to Hua Mulan and Joan of Arc, as well as modern icons like Katherine Johnson, Marie Curie, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift. Parents should be aware that the book features transgender activist Jazz Jennings. The timeline and map at the end are excellent visual additions. However, the inclusion of some modern women seemed unclear, and several high-profile figures were notably absent. While it’s a quick and easy read, it doesn’t stand out as particularly unique or superior compared to other anthologies of remarkable women.

Unfortunately, this book just wasn’t for me. I usually love informative books like this—ones that help kids learn about the world and find inspiration from the lives of amazing people. But this one… well, it felt a bit tedious.

The book includes stories of over 50 different individuals, which sounds exciting, but sadly, most of them felt too general for my liking. A few stood out as well-written, but many left me with a sense that they were incomplete. On top of that, the repetitive use of phrases like “oh no they didn’t” or “oh no she didn’t” on almost every page really started to annoy me. I’m not sure why it was included, but for me, it detracted from the overall reading experience.

That said, the illustrations were beautiful and definitely a highlight of the book. It’s just a shame that the text didn’t live up to the same standard.

While this one didn’t quite work for me, it might appeal to readers who enjoy a quicker, more casual style. For me, though, it fell short of its potential.

Remarkable Women is an illustrated book about remarkable women in history. It includes illustrations and facts about Cleopatra, Ada Lovelace, and others.

This is a GREAT read for young kids, teens, and adults. While it is geared toward what feels like ages 8-12, anyone could learn about the facts and myths of some truly remarkable women. I like how the authors chose to mix in well-known names such as Taylor Swift, Michelle Obama, Marie Curie, and Medusa with not-so-well-known names. I had never heard of many of the women in this book, so it was fun to actually learn something new! I also love that my favorite political leader, Jacinda Ardern, was included.
The format is very repetitive on each page for each woman, with the authors giving you a fact and then a silly little myth, followed by a literal “Oh no they didn’t!” every time. That was a little obnoxious for my taste, but I can see how it would be amusing for a younger kid. The end features a somewhat helpful timeline of each woman and a map of where they’re from (which does make you question why so many are from the US and UK when there are so many remarkable women everywhere else). The best part, as a teacher, is the glossary! Lots of great words back there to do with activism, women’s rights, and all of the categories in which each woman falls.

Great book to learn more about women throughout history! I loved the humor on every page of this one, and the "Oh No They Aren't" concept was fun and fresh. Definitely would be engaging for the kiddos! I found myself fascinated and learned many facts about women that I did not even know existed!

Thanks to NetGalley, Eric Huang, and Quarto Publishing for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!

Reading challenge category - 2024 Flourish and Blotts: Astronomy - Sirius: Stars on the pages (stars - celebrities)

A fact-filled book about amazing women throughout history (and of myth). The illustrations left a bit to be desired. Some faces were kinda scary looking. I get that it's the 'schtick' for this series, but the "oh no she didn't" repetition was quite distracting as well.

I was curious to see which remarkable women were going to be put into this book and it did not disappoint. Learning about all these women was eye-opening and interesting. Young girls and women should read this book to get an idea of how to become remarkable even if it's not becoming famous but just by being themselves and doing what they love. The graphics in this book were spot-on and vivid. I would highly recommend this book to any girl or woman who is feeling down about life or themselves.

This was a fun and informative book. It keeps the sections short while still giving important information about the women selected for this book. The illustrations are wonderful and the book has a nice flow overall.

This book tells the stories of many important and influential women in history. The author made sure to include women from different cultures and backgrounds, even figures in mythology. Diversity is something I appreciate especially in children's books. The illustrations were great as well!

While this book offers a compelling and thorough historical look at the achievements of various women across both the arts and sciences, I felt that it leaned a bit too heavily into the "oh no they didn't" style of commentary on each page. These attention-grabbing blurbs could have been used to showcase each woman's accomplishments. The books historical coverage is one of its strengths. The title covers a diverse range of fields showing how women have shaped and contributed to history in both creative and scientific domains. Coverage of current celebrities could cause parts of this book to date more quickly. I was surprised to note that there did not seem to be any women involved in writing or illustrating this title.

Oh No They Aren’t: Remarkable Women by Eric Huang is an informative and entertaining resource, dispelling many misconceptions, or little-known details about extraordinary woman from throughout history.

There is such diversity in the women in this book, including formidable first ladies, musical maestros, leading ladies, sports stars, and fearless fighters. There are valued extras located at the back, including a glossary, timeline and map, which provide additional context and learning opportunities for curious minds.

The layout is brilliant with extra information boxes and some comical speech bubbles. Sam Caldwell has provided engaging, yet visually appealing illustrations. This book is great for all young people to learn about remarkable women who have shaped history.

Many thanks Quarto Publishing Group for the digital review copy for review consideration, via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I am looking forward to more of this informative series from Eric Huang.
