Review — ′Noisemakers: 25 Women Who Raised Their Voices & Changed the World’

This book features a collection of 200 pages filled with bios from trailblazers of every type and age, written and illustrated by women for the inspiration of the next generation of girls. Really, it doesn′t get better than this.

The book loosely follows the same structure of the very successful Bedtime Stories for Rebel Girls, but it has, in my opinion, several improvements. First, it′s divided into 5 very distinct categories: Grow, Play, Explore, Tinker, and Rally.

Secondly, in each biography, it lists the traits the young reader may have in common with these wonderful women. They are all positive and written in the first person, encompassing a varied array of features that will allow girls to pick and choose who they identify with the most.

Thirdly, this is a book made for young women by women who are also great at what they do: comic writers and illustrators with very distinct styles. That is putting it mildly; AWESOME comic…
