Each story is 2 pages long per person and there are two beautiful illustrations to go with it, one from childhood and one from adult life of these women. Except for Malala Yousafzai, because she was not yet an adult when the book came out.
At the back of this book is a timeline showing that strong, important women don't just exist today, but have been here through the ages. In all kinds of disciplines they have made important discoveries, had successful careers or brought about changes in socially accepted wrongdoings or abuses.
Whatever these women have accomplished or are achieving today, as an artist, author, scientist, fashion icon or activist, it made them world famous. Not just for a while, but through the ages!
