This edition of Girls Think of Everything has retained most of the gals from the original book published in 2000. This edition has added  women of color and women from outside the United States.

New profiles include Alissa Chavez, a Latinx teen who invented the Hot Seat to prevent infant deaths in hot cars; Azza Abdelhamid Faiad, an Egyptian teen who devised a method of turning recycled plastic into fuel; and Kiara Nirghin, a South African teen who came up with a way to fight drought using the absorbency of orange peels.

This updated edition also includes a useful Glossary and timeline of other girls and their inventions.

A great entertaining read for all.
