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.
I really like Boudicca because she protected her whole tribe
I did not know so many women did such great stuff. I told my friends about the book.
I met the author at Camp Bestival and she signed my book!
I did like this book but it wasn't my favourite - it has lots of interesting facts but a few too many to read on my own.
Really good - the best book I've ever read from the library!
i love this book it is a really good book
Just didn't like the really tricky words on the book
Favourite fact is about Pocahontas and how as a young women she help Native American and the new settle live in some peace together.
Loved it
I would recommend it to ages 6 - 10 because it mentions sad times for these women but it dwells on the positive.
Very interesting story's
I wanted to learn more about the great women
Yes I would
I like this book because the women made history. The person I liked best was Boudicca . The book was non -fiction.
I like the women who had courage and helped the world
This is amazing book, we have another part of it as well. I'm proud of beeing woman
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.
I liked this book because it tells you about women in the past. I would definitely recommend it to someone else.
this book shows that women can be anything that men can be!
This book i just about all of those women who have just made history and have given us some things today. it is interesting but can get quite boring
A very adventurous story of great Women who made things today I thing!
I like how some people changed the how the world was a long time ago.
This book is for children who love facts because it shows how much power women have.
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.
I loved this book and learnt so much about what some women had achieved.
This is an amazing book probably one of the best fantastic women books yet. It interested me because I love history and learning about things that happened back in the day. I would recommend it to any history lovers in the world.
Very interesting and inspirational.
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.
From library I've read
