A review by invioletshadows
The Radical Element: 12 Stories of Daredevils, Debutants, and Other Dauntless Girls by Jessica Spotswood

4.0

I adored this anthology, though admittedly not quite as much as the first. I will say that my favorites in this one (I think) are going to stick with me for a long time, which I can’t necessarily say is true of the first one. So while I feel A Tyranny of Petticoats had more consistently good stories, the ones that were stellar in this one were really stellar. If you’re looking for diverse, badass, renegade girls, these anthologies are for you. Each of these stories takes a girl’s story from the past and shows how, despite every systemic odd being against them, women throughout history were strong, empowered, and brave.
