Review: 101 Awesome Women Who Changed Our World by Julia Adams and Louise Wright. 

A great collection of women who have made an impact in our world through Sport, Entertainment and STEM, 101 Awesome Women Who Changed Our World is a book for older children about historic women. 

The people included are incredibly diverse and alive. I find with a lot of the books that show women, often the women are historic and though in many cases this is the situation in this book, often it is not which is rare. Including women such as Malala Yousafzai and Simone Biles, these are women young girls can look up to right now and I think that’s important. 

To accompany these biographies are some really lovely illustrations of these women, ones that stand out for me include entries such as Majlinda Kelmendi, Chantal Petitclerc and Laverne Cox - the illustrator has added little details in this book too, that really add to the stories about the women and it brings them to life. 

It’s an enjoyable read filled to the brim with incredible women and illustrations that add to this book beautifully, I just expected more from this as this book.
