This was one of those series that I was highly looking forward to and I was hoping to be able to share it with my niece. But before I could tell her about it I chose to skim through each book to be able to see which women were being shared and which ones of my role models were missing such as Osa Johnson and Katia Krafft who never seem to make it into any of these compilations.

Anyway I was doing good in my skimming while seeing both women that I have heard before and definitely some new faces I hadn't heard of before. And then in the series book, 25 Women Who Fought Back, I came upon Janet Mock whom I hadn't heard of before.

For those who don't know it Janet Mock is a transwoman and with the themes of these books seeming to focus on actual women I am quite disappointed to see his inclusion in them. Janet may be a nice person and fighting the good fight but I want a book of women to actually include women since there is already too much fighting to gain recognition, especially in the past, for the contributions that women have made to the world at large. As such I am going to pass on all the books in this series and find some that actually explore real women and their contributions to the world at large whether those contributions are past, present or future

This book had a really good layout and formatting. Each of the women had a few pages dedicated to their personal and professional accomplishments which I felt was an ample amount of words to explain the accomplishments in detail without overwhelming a reader. The diversity of topics was great and I appreciated the different sections like technological inventions and architecture. Overall this is a great book for both children and adults because it provides a wonderful historical slideshow of many women who changed the course of history and impacted the world in their own positive unique ways.

This book is very important to teach young girls that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. This is a non-fiction book that talks about the achievements of 25 women in history. In the beginning, it talks about the lack of women in STEM and throughout the book, it talks about the few women who are in STEM and the impacts they have made. These women defied expectations and made great differences in society.

Outstanding science trade book for K-12: This is one of my favorite science based books that could be used for educating children on women in STEM throughout history. This book is full of information about remarkable women but it can easily be used to teach younger grades since it has engaging and real-life illustrations and friendly language. This story provides a unique way to teach students about science because it is focused on the women and their accomplishments. I also love how this is a part of a series! It can be used in so many ways in our classrooms to educate children about various topics along with historical women figures.
