Review quotes
"These women lead fascinating lives and made me want to learn more about them. I love that this book is presented in both English and Spanish. I've already recommended it to the Spanish teachers in my building. It is perfect for Hispanic Heritage Month, Women's History Month, or anytime of the year." S. Riggle - Librarian, Teacher
"While we are accustomed to hearing about female trailblazers today in the U.S., most stories we know are fairly recent, occurring within the past 50 years or so. Here Calderón shows us that woman have been changing the world for centuries. While each of these women caused lasting change (often in male-dominated careers), their accomplishments are even more amazing when one considers that most were born in the 18th or 19th century!
Vibrant, full-color Illustrations enhance the text and hint about each woman's special talents and interests, from dancer to soldier. The stories are told in a succinct, easily-digestible manner (in both English and Spanish) that is sure to both spark a desire to learn more and encourage young girls to follow their own dreams." K. Yavorski
