I loved this book. It’s a graphic collection of mini biographies about 25 revolutionary women. The book is broken into 6 sections with 3-5 women highlighted in each section. Each biography is illustrated by a different talented female or non-binary artist, and many of the pairings are delightfully perfect. Mary Shelley, for example, has some nicely creepy illustrations. From Eugenie Clark to Frida Kahlo to Mother Jones, this book has something for everyone, and it has a nice mix of well-known and not so well known women.

Recommended for middle grade readers, this is a great way to get them reading some nonfiction. Recommended for Cream of the Crop.
