This book reminds me a lot of Chicken Soup books which I used to devour as a kid/young teen. This was just like that but without the longer stories. It was a quick read but I could understand how younger girls could gain from this. I think I am out of the age range that would best benefit from this book.

I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book is basically a collection of quotes from famous women and a few men. The book is divided into short little chapters based on themes like being yourself and caring for the planet.
The selection of women featured was expansive. You had everyone from politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Stacey Abrams to actresses like Jane Fonda and Amy Poehler.
At the end of the book there are short biographies of all the people who were quoted. I kind of wished that these bios were incorporated throughout the book to help break up all the quotes. It got a little tiring reading a bunch of quotes without anything there to mix it up. Having the biographies intermixed would help with that. It would also help give the quotes some context because I’m sure there are some people who read this book who won’t know who everyone is. Also, a lot of quotes would be more impactful if you knew the story behind the woman saying it.
Overall, I would recommend this book to young girls and teens. I think this book would really resonate with them and would make a great gift.
