This book by Ms. Moyer is definitely a must read not just for children but also for adults. I enjoyed it immensely. I enjoyed learning about black women who dared to make a difference, black women who dared to instigate change and black women who dared to stand up to the oppressors. I love how easy it was to read, it was simple and short. I love the illustrations, how the POC women is in contrast with the background. It was encompasses different decades and time. This book is relevant and timely. There were some grammar errors, mostly punctuation errors. I also like for it to have more black women featured.
