This was really easy to read and to learn about loads of amazing women who have come and gone and are still here!

I read this book as part of my 2018 Library Love binge, where I read as many library books as possible to take advantage of my great local library network before I move interstate!

Such a cute book about amazing women around the globe. Well, the globe might not quite right because the women written here are mostly from the west. There are barely any Asian.

Nonetheless, the illustrations is just sooo adorable! I’m thinking of giving this book as a gift for my nieces.

* I received a physical copy of this book from the publisher. This in no way affected my opinion of the book.

Amazing Women spotlights a unique collection of female figures with a focus on British women. It features a vast variety of women in different fields from the sciences to the arts, including the lives of many women.

The illustration of this book is adorable. Sarah Green has a style that I just love and which worked well with this book. And I liked how the book is divided which highlighted the different areas in which these women contributed to society, highlighting older and new voices.

I believe this book can be inspiring to girl and women from all backgrounds and shows the diversity of women that did amazing things. I would say this is quite a cute book with unbiased overviews of every woman and their achievements. I loved the adorable designs and illustrations. I understand its need to be unbiased but I most likely would’ve never picked this book up when I can clearly see women on here I don’t personally agree with supporting.

🌼Buku ini membagikan profil dan kisah hidup secara singkat perempuan-perempuan dari beragam profesi mulai dari bidang seni sampai scientists yang dianggap memberi berkontribusi pada masyarakat, mulai dari yang usia mudah sampai yang sudah berusia lanjut.
.
🌼Selain kisah yg luar biasa dari mereka yg memiliki beragam latar belakang aku suka bangat dengan ilustrasi buku ini🤩. Baca buku ini sebenarnya bisa sekali duduk selesai, tapi akan sangat seru sambil membaca kisah” luar biasa dari perempuan-perempuan hebat ini sambil lihat-lihat ilustrasinya 👍.
.
🌼Semua kisah hebat ini emang benar-benar menginspirasi menurutku. Meski ada beberapa seperti kurang setuju dalam hati waktu bacanya bukan berarti buku tidak rekomendasi ya. Rekomendasi banget malah karena kita bisa ambil hal positifnya jika ada mungkin yg bertolak belakang dengan hati atau prinsip kita😉👍.

was hoping for diversity and some parts just felt like a Wikipedia run through.

My full review of this title is going to be appearing on Thursday, to celebrate International Women's day. However, I can say that it features an astounding array of women and many utterly inspirational stories: it's impossible to read this book and not start believing that you can change the world, too.
