In Williams' classic comic-strip style, the lives of women scientists, pioneers, athletes, and artists are explored and celebrated...Helping to diversify the gallery are such figures as Frida Kahlo, Wangari Maathai, and Mae Jemison. Williams acknowledges the difficult nature of choosing a select list; she includes brief information about 59 others in the back along with a challenge to readers to find more heroic women who have inspired them. This animated volume will surely rouse future change-makers. --Kirkus Reviews
