Product Description
Amelia Earhart, Golda Meir, Pocahontas, Rachel Carson, Wanda Gág, Wilma Rudolph, and other determined young women--both famous and less familiar--took risks and made sacrifices to do brave things. Each of these inspiring poems proves that every girl, no matter who she is or where she lives, is capable of making a difference.

As a parent and teacher of young girls, I found this book to be an inspiration. My 8 year old daughter enjoyed all of the poems and reading them together sparked several discussions about some of the heroines, especially the lesser known women.The illustrations are beautiful. What a great gift for a young girl!

Story of 14 young women, who are heros, some famous, some not. Poems are wonderful, and explain just why each girl is a hero. Illustrations are beautiful and in color. This is an excellent biography book and I would recommend it for students from the 4th grade up, and to the teachers and parents, alike.

The best book I have ever read for making the link between wonderful acts of imagination and/or courage in childhood and the larger than life heros these women became.This has got to be a christmas or birthday book for reading to or by girls from 5 to 10.
