Fand es als Ergänzung zu "Beklaute Frauen" gut. Vor allem, da durch die Jahrhunderte aus verschiedenen Weltgegenden Kurzbiographien erzählt wurden. In die Tiefe konnte das Buch deshalb natürlich nicht gehen, was etwas schade war. Der Schreibstil war ziemlich flüssig, könnte es mir auch gut als Sachbuch für Jugendliche vorstellen. Was gestört hat, war aber der echt blöde Drucksatz. Ich verstehe diesen Trend nicht, die Schrift so klein und die Seiten so voll wie möglich zu klatschen. Da vergeht einem leider etwas die Lust .. Trotzdem aber ein gutes Buch, auch als Einstieg in die Themen rund um Feminismus denkbar.
