**Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.** 
 
I absolutely love and appreciate this book. Every young reader should read this book or have it read to them because the stories within are inspiring, informative, and strong. Each story holds its own unique power and knowledge, and we need to spread this power and knowledge to young children everywhere. 

I love how this collection highlights strong, amazing women from all over the globe. It has representation in culture and career. I do, however, wish there was more representation of Transgender Women, women with disabilities, and neurodivergent women. 

I find the illustrations that accompanied the stories awe-inspiring. The uniqueness and detail in each of them are amazing, and the fact that they are all drawn by different female artists is wonderful. And the activities at the end of the book, I think, are a wonderful addition. It allows readers of all genders to tell their stories and learn about what kind of leader they can be.  

Besides the representation mentioned above, the other hesitation keeping me from a 4.5- or 5-star rating is that some of the highlighted biographies felt a bit rushed. I know with only one page to put down words, things can get tight, but a few of the stories felt like they lost a little bit of punch because they were so short.  

I can't wait to see a final print copy of this book when it is published!
