Customer Reviews

A book for everyone!

This is a book that young adults (middle school) and older can read, enjoy, and learn from. It's great to browse through...each piece is about three pages long and includes a photo or drawing. Any such listing is of course going to be controversial...and that's part of the author's purpose. Who do you think is in it? Who should be? Is Mother Jones (number 14) more influential than Elizabeth I (number 16)? And who was Ida Tarbell? In the end, it's not the ranking that matters but the stories. Well done!

One of the Most Important Books of the Decade

I have learned a great deal from reading this book. It is important for all women and men to know these influential women and what they did to affect our world. When read completely, this book can change how we as women perceive ourselves. Using Woman Studies professors as judges was a stroke of genius. I think the editors need to brush up some errors in facts and pictures, and rerelease it.

I thought it was a great book. Enjoyed every minute of it.

I have read many of Ms Felder's books and I have enjoyed each and everyone. She is good writer.
