Nice selection of women about whom to write. That's the good.
Poorly written, superficial, poorly edited, and significantly editorialized. As an essay by a high-school junior, it might earn a B. As a list of notable women, perhaps a C+, as these are certainly notable, but not necessarily the most adventurous or most exemplary. The easiest to "research", perhaps.
A good editor would have caught many of the "x proves y" errors ("illustrates" perhaps, "demonstrates" perhaps, not "proves") and poor word choice. A good editor would have noted that Bennet calls her subjects liars (she wrote about it, but there's no proof it happened?!). A good proofreader would have caught the errors in tense and grammar, and probably recognized that Earhart didn't fly at 14,000 miles, but at 14,000 feet.

An inspiration for the future.
I love learning about amazing women from the past. This book proves that women can do anything. Women often find themselves in precarious situations through our many life spans where we are teamed up with other sisters from our Abby of Origin. I look forward to seeing more, as women are the missing link in history.

Inspirational! Everyone needs to read to their daughters!
Wow, what a book, what great content. I had no idea about most of these fantastic women. Makes me so determined to be the best version of me. Definitely one I will read to my daughter when she’s older to inspire her to change the world.

Interesting and Inspirational
An interesting book highlighting adventurous women and their challenges and accomplishments throughout history. Some women I was aware of and others are new. The author writes in an easy to read, entertaining way and gives insight and perspective about each woman and their life, accomplishments and challenges.

It wasn't exactly my favorite read. It was interesting enough; but nothing to write home about. I think the big thing for me was that she kept breaking the flow of the story by switching back and between third person POV and first person POV. It was very distracting.
