• Love it! I was looking for a gift for a toddler girl and wanted to find something that could be empowering and inspiring. I’m always on a quest for gifts with an anti-princess sentiment and this was perfect.
• I love this book. Originally I got it for my little cousin, who is 5, but I thought that it was too advanced for her. I thought about keeping it for myself, because I love how they have women from all different countries and all different time periods. I ended up giving it to a different cousin who is 11 and it felt like it was an appropriate level for her.
• I got this as a gift for my friends daughters birthday and it was a hit.In the middle of the party after it was opened her Mom pointed to the book stating "See, it's not all princesses and rainbows!" towards the father of her daughter. I was later told the dad wanted to make sure she was well rounded and it was the perfect gift for them!
• I bought this book as a Christmas present for a young female family member (she's 10). She quickly started reading up on some of the women. The book came in great condition and is absolutely beautiful. It is filled with wonderful illustrations and easy to read synapses of the women depicted.
  
  My only concern is the subject matter may not be the right choice for some families, considering this book is about adventurous and daredevil women in history, so if you or your family does not want to encourage "reckless" behavior (as some of my family members put it), I would recommend another book. However, I thought it has great examples of strong women!
• I gave this to my 9 year old niece for Christmas and she loved it! She is a very strong reader, who also loves to learn new things when she reads, and she was very excited about the book. She told me she is reading about one person a day, and has learned a lot of things - plus she was excited to see it was all about daring women! She said she was telling her classmates about the women as well - that she thought they were very brave! I also enjoyed skimming some of the selections when I first obtained it. I highly recommend it!
• Great book for various ages. My daughter used it for a Girl Scout troop meeting (middle school level) about successful women and it was a huge hit. Many moms asked about the book and where to buy it.
• My daughter had Rebel Girls and I decided to switch for this one. She is 6 and love it. She is reading for weeks the same story then changed.
• Awesome young person's book. It's short and in really short, might take 5-10 minutes to read about a daring woman. It would be a perfect book for grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. to have on hand to read to both girls and boys. Teachers, either in the home setting or public school could read a daring woman's story and since the chapters don't tell all there is to know, but gives you a desire to go look them up and find out more it could lead to further research and stories written by the student about that daring woman.
  Another of my favorite things about this book is Linda Skeers doesn't just have a certain age, type or daring woman but she has stories from the 18th century to the 21st century. There are young women and Senior Citizen women, married women, single women, single mom women. Performers, daredevils, flyers, astronauts, scientists, explorers in this book. They are from all over this great earth.
  My favorite section was about Rebels.
  Will be buying several more for friends with boys.
