YA Nonfiction, 2023 by Workman Publishing Group, 208 Pages 

What I Didn’t Like:

• The text itself is pretty dry. Basic facts, no fluff. This can be good but it also makes for a slow read.
• Although this is intended, the short introduction to each person feels like it’s just not enough. I wanted a bit more depth. 
• The challenges at the end of each woman range from quick to very in depth. I found it interesting that they weren’t equal or balanced. 

What I Did Like:

• This is intended to be an introduction to these 100 women and it does that. You aren’t getting a LOT of anyone’s story but you may find someone you want to explore more on your own. 
• Attention is given to proper pronouns and respectful discussions of everyone’s accomplishments in a positive way. I appreciated that. 
• Connections are made between some of the women, which is great for cross researching.

Who Should Read This One:

• This would be a great book to have in a history class, specifically one where teachers often do research projects. This is a ready made introduction with quick facts for 100 women in history!
