Basically the same review as the other book- An amazing informative little gem which informed me about various women, several unknown to me prior or mentioned simply in passing. Be warned though, this is not a traditional, simple read the words book, it is one you explore and journey through, with each read there will be some clever little gem which was previously overlooked. I will be buying numerous copies to give as gifts.

So lovely to see some progress being made in children's literature! This and Goodnight stories for Rebel Girls add a fresh, quirky view to feminism making it something accessible and easy to engage with for everyone. Not just children. These books don't have a condescending tone but instead a positive and enouraging one. Every little girl should know that the world around her is hers for the taking. And that if you can dream it, then you can do it!

Really cool and definitely a great way to introduce young children to the stories of these amazing women throughout history.

A truly wonderful picture book that tells the stories of 13 diverse women throughout history. Full of engaging illustrations and factual text, this is lovely book to show young children they can aspire to be and do whatever they dream. The arrangement of the text was sometimes a little confusing to follow, but that did not detach from the enjoyment of the read. Overall, this is a wonderful and inspiring book for parents and children to read together. I would highly recommend to all.

FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD by Kate Pankhurst is a wonderful illustrated book on the following fantastically great women who changed the world: Jane Austen, Gertrude Ederle, Coco Chanel, Frida Kahlo, Mary Anning, Marie Curie, Mary Seacole, Amelia Earhart, Agent Fifi, Sachagawea, Emmeline Pankhurst, Rosa Parks, and Anne Frank. It was the perfect hopeful and inspiring read to end 2020. This year, I sort of accidentally stumbled onto Seacole's book and bought it, knowing nothing about her really. Now that I've read this book by Pankhurst, I'm definitely moving Seacole's book to the top of my TBR pile. I wasn't yet familiar with Mary Anning and Sachagawea, the other women are often mentioned in similar books and lists such as these, but the drawings and facts were original and interesting nonetheless. This book might be particularly interesting for parents with young children or primary school teachers! I'm rating this book with ★★★★☆

This is a lovely book full of interesting women, exactly the sort of picture book that young girls should be given to inspire them. The illustrations are lovely and I can see myself using it as a base for individual historical figure studies in a KS1 or KS2 history lessons.

Pankhurst (a descendent of the suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst) has compiled a book celebrating the life and achievements of 12 fantastic women.
Featuring Emmeline, Frida Kahlo, Coco Chanel, Gertrude Ederle (the Channel swimmer), Mary Anning, Mary Seacole (nurse), Agent Fifi, Sagagawea (translator and guide for Lewis and Clark), Rosa Parks, Anne Frank, Amelia Earhart, Jane Austen and Marie Curie, each double page spread is illustrated in a cartoon-like way with speech bubbles, maps, text boxes and loads of humour.

A superb collection of outstanding women who made the most of their situations and strove to be better. Whilst some of these women struggled at some points in their lives, some falling at hurdles, Kate Pankhurst does not sweep these difficulties and embraces their wins in spite of this. She spreads a brilliant message that you can be 'great' despite losses.
Having already read the second of the series prior to reading this one, I can safely say that Kate Pankhurt writes so warmly about these inspiring women, her sense of pride bursts off of the page and is completely infectious. A joy to read and explore with children.
