I love learning about historical figures that we didn't talk about in school - many have really interesting stories of how they accomplished a goal or how they ended up doing what they were doing. This is a sequel to Girls Who Rocked the World and will be a welcome addition to anyone's bookshelf. Filled with short profiles of women who have made a mark on the world before turning twenty, I enjoyed the diverse list of women from modern names like Adele to historical figures like Queen Elizabeth.

More Girls Who Rocked The World is a mixture of some badass females who are out there from Queens to pirates to computer scientists to politicians, singers, activists and more. There are 45 girls in the book of women who fought to follow their dreams and succeeded. Each "girl" has several pages about her as her bio. This is a quick and easy read, but incredibly inspirational - if these ladies did it - why can't I? Some of the girls in here I knew about and some I didn't, but that didn't make each and every one of them any less inspirational. I was especially happy to see Bindi Irwin included!
I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.
