Bold Women in History

Bold Women in History is a beautiful and bright book for young readers. The author did a great job of highlighting interesting facts from these women's lives in short chapters. It is written in a very conversational and easy-to-follow tone.

I especially like how many of the women in this book were connected to each other, and that is mentioned where applicable but is never redundant. Some of these women all lived around the same time and even KNEW EACH OTHER. Showing how these stories are related really brings history alive to me.

I love the “Explore More” and “Did You Know?” excerpts at the end of each woman's story as well. I think these are great details for those who are interested in going deeper and a great way to incorporate some exciting/random facts. A lot of these grabbed my attention, and I learned a few things that I didn't know!

This would be a great book for teachers to use in their classroom one chapter at a time for a unit study and also a great book for young readers to read through at their own pace for an extra dose of history.

*Thank you to the publisher for providing me an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
