I like this book because it encourages people to do things right for the world. My favourite women are Emmeline Pankhurst, Rosa Parks and Boudicca because they’re the most interesting.

I think it's trying to tell us woman have the same right as men. My favourite character is Harriet because she's helping slaves escape. I recommend it for everyone.

I read about great women who made history it was amazing and fantastic book. It interested me because it was about really people. Who made fantastic amazing history. Qui Lin was my favourite as I go martial arts and she was good at fighting and defending and standed up for herself alot. She trained to fight and have the rights and was the best.
