I heard a lot of really good things about this book and was very excited to read it. I guess it is tailored more toward smaller children, because the stories themselves are really simple and sometimes a bit too narrow for my taste. However, it is a really great twist to the classical fairytale and introduces 100 really exciting female biographies, of which the majority was unknown to me. I thus found this book very eye-opening and enriching, even though I would have liked to know even more about the women and their stories.
