Rad Women

I have no daughter, but I have young cousins. This book will be in the mail to them as soon as I finish this review. It's great fun, well written, and has a wonderful variety of Rad Women from different eras, different countries, and different fields of endeavor. What is most important to me is that all these women made a difference, either in their own country or the world. The short length of each biography makes it easy to read one in a sitting, which I think will appeal to younger readers. Or, perhaps Mom can read one at bedtime, out loud!
