Mistake in the book

Great book.
Dissatisfied to find a mistake in the book. It should be full name: Marie Sklodowska Curie as she kept both surnames...

A must have for every young girl (and boy!)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2018

I bought this for my 4 year old nieces on International Women's Day because they are never too young to learn that they can do anything they choose if they put their mind to it :)
One if them makes her mum read it to her every night before bed, so much so that it's driving her mad!
The other quotes parts of the book back to me. For example she says 'Rosa Parks wasn't allowed to get on a bus because of her skin but she did it anyways' for that alone it's money well spent :)
The book is well written and easy for a child to understand with beautiful illustrations.

fun facts about amazing women that changed our world

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2017

Verified Purchase

My daughter is very interested in famous women, feminism and equality. I bought this book for her to use at the school where she is training to be a teacher. I thought it would make a great book for the children to discuss the different famous women from the past. This book is full of interesting facts about these different women and I have heard of most of them but there were a few I had never heard of before so it was a good learning experience for me too.

There are loads of fun pictures and facts about these people and their achievements and contributions to the world.

I am pleased with the book and also enjoyed reading it myself. At the back of the book there is a list of some words that children may find that they are not familiar with such as suffragette, radioactive, persecuted, aztecs and others. I think it is a book that will help curious young minds learn plenty about these women. Some of the names in the book are Mary Seacole, Anne Frank, Rosa Park, Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo and many more.

The printing is very good and the illustrations are great too.

Good for kids who don't enjoy too much reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this as a birthday gift for a soon-to-be 13 year old, who really doesn't enjoy reading! This book keeps her interest with it's wonderfully designed explosions of colour and having only bite-size tidbits of writing.

It's a great book visually, but it's not the best true history guide and it is rather short in total. Honestly I didn't really agree with including some of the women, like Coco Chanel.

I rather wish the creators could have possibly included some still-living iconic women too, instead of only historical figures.

Should be on the national curriculum! My 9 yr old boy loved this book. Great illustrations and short and compelling enough to hold his attention.

It's ok

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2022

Verified Purchase

I would say that book is not suitable for children that cannot read. There is plenty of small stories scattered around the page, mixed with pictures. You have to jump from one part to the other, narration changes. A child that can read can enjoy it more, combining text with pictures but overall I am not impressed to be honest. Very disorganised book. Disappointed as we have quite big collection from different publisher about famous people and my little one enjoys them greatly and absorbs all information so well.

Great book to inspire youngsters

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2021

Verified Purchase

Bought as a gift for a five year old girl. This should set her off on the right path in life!
Inspiring stories of famous women who have made history, told along with plenty of colourful illustrations.
I'm hoping that the recipient will see there's more to life than posing with a pouty face!
The writing might be a bit advanced for some younger children, but with all the pictures it can still be fun to read along with someone older to help.
