I read about great women who made history it was amazing and fantastic book. It interested me because it was about really people. Who made fantastic amazing history. Qui Lin was my favourite as I go martial arts and she was good at fighting and defending and standed up for herself alot. She trained to fight and have the rights and was the best.

This is a very insporational book to me as there aren't many books about women who are great.

My favourite woman from this book was Boudicca. This is because she is a Celtic warrior who would stand up for herself no matter what.

I would recommend this book to everyone. Boys and girls.

Los of interesting facts about women. For ages 8 and up.

This is a great book to help children understand who, how and when different women achieved things in history. Lots of facts over a double page, just enough to keep inquisitive minds active and asking more questions. Wonderful presentation. I would recommend this book to all primary children to read or for it to be read to them. Inspiring them to reach for their dreams and goals.

It was a really good read but everything was in boxes dotted all over the page so it was hard to decide where to start but the content itself was amazing.

I liked at the start learning about Harriet Tubman and how she helped the slaves be free.
