I loved this wonderful, inspiring piece of non-fiction. Sam Maggs' shares twenty-five rad ladies who made amazing contributions in the world, and their stories were just so interesting to read about. I LOVED the Women of Innovation section, if only because I loved the story behind Maragret Knight who invented the flat-bottomed paper bag. I also loved the story of Sarah Emma Edmonds, a Canadian spy, who after begin found out by the government, still managed to get paid her full wages, even though she was is disguise. I felt like I learned so much and I have so much respect for the women represented in this collection (omg Bessie Coleman!!!). If you have any interest in STEM or women going above and beyond to make the world a better place, definitely read this book
