Every Bit of the Girl is wonderful anthology of poetic insight into the lives of history's powerful women. As a historian and teacher, pouring over these pages was like getting to hear the heart of a dear friend. Bluestocking has effortlessly incorporated historical research with daring to look into the soul of each woman with a poetic and artist lens. I look forward to sharing some of the these with my high school students.
