Many women shaped our world history, and they didn’t just have whatever they had to be famous; they also had their books to keep them company.
There are a lot of famous feminine names in history that we know of. We know all about the things they did, but there are some things we don’t know about their personal lives, such as a great love for books! Read on, and you girls might find bookworms like yourself on these pages!
This collection of 20 short biographies talks about Cleopatra to the author Kathleen Krull, who died recently in 2021 (rest in peace). There were some people I knew and some I didn’t know. I even had more background about a famous person I was interested in: Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz.
My favorites among these women are Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth I, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Temple Grandin, Taylor Swift, Malala Yousafzai, and more.
This book has excellent illustrations, very informative, and inspiring quotes.
Give this book to history buffs and bookworms wanting to know about famous readers.
