Synopsis:

Celebrate historic and contemporary Wonder Women from around the world, from Ada Lovelace to Zaha Hadid!

Highlighting notable and inspiring women from across the globe throughout time, The A-Z of Wonder Women features biographies of trailblazers and groundbreakers, including Ada Lovelace, Oprah Winfrey, Ruth Ginsberg, and Wajeha al-Huwaider.

This empowering alphabet-style book celebrates a wide range of skills and masteries in the arts, politics and activism, STEM, and more, providing accessible facts about these heroic women--and inspiring young readers to make the change they want to see in the world. 

My Thoughts:

Another fantastic collection of inspirational women from all over the world. This little book features 26 women, one for each letter of the alphabet, with a lovely illustration, a quote, and a little excerpt about each woman. 

Of course, cutting the list down to just 26 women must have been difficult indeed, and I'm glad to say that there are 22 more wonder women (without illustrations) listed in the back of the book.

I did find it slightly disappointing in how few facts were included for each person. Each biography was quite minimal with only one or two sentences. 

Otherwise, I loved how the usage of bold colors as backgrounds and the illustrations are well-done and clearly recognizable.
