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.

I did like this book but it wasn't my favourite - it has lots of interesting facts but a few too many to read on my own.

I would recommend it to ages 6 - 10 because it mentions sad times for these women but it dwells on the positive.

This is a very insporational book to me as there aren't many books about women who are great. My favourite woman from this book was Boudicca. This is because she is a Celtic warrior who would stand up for herself no matter what. I would recommend this book to everyone. Boys and girls.
Duchess Amazonia Sequins 01.09.2021
