Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
This book is full of 26 extraordinary American women, some of which I had never heard of – this book is a great book for young women and adults. We like the clean layout that makes it easy to read, the full information, and the unique block-print like illustrations. A great book for a young, American woman.
