This was really well done, but not perfect. I read about so many women I want to learn more about (though not all were great people, the authors' explanations for including them was done well) and the social insight and commentary was spot on. More than 80 countries are represented with women of all races, ages, and eras (predictably, US/UK are heavily featured). However, I think each entry could have been a bit more in-depth and I would have loved to see more photos of the women or their work. I was also surprised to see that some entries for present-day women weren't updated to include major media events (for instance, J.K. Rowling's active transphobia is well documented, including several instances years prior to when this book was published).
