This is a very easy to read book, similar to an encyclopaedia in that there are short pieces written about each woman, but they are all linked together so it reads as prose. The book introduced me to many women I have never heard of and I enjoyed reading about them and their achievements. An awful lot of research must have gone into this book and Mosse has done these often overlooked women justice by bringing their stories to life. It made me angry to read about how many of these women’s achievements were overlooked or worse, attributed to men. Yet these women kept going and made their mark on history and that is so inspiring. Kudos to Kate Mosse for bringing these women into the spotlight and telling their stories.
Definitely a book to be read in short bursts so its contents can be fully absorbed. Read it and be inspired!
Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
