  4.5. I loved this author/illustrator's earlier Exquisite Corpse, I'm a feminist, and I love reading about individuals who have often been ignored by history so how could I pass this one up? The fact that the book contains thumbnail sketches of 29 women who didn't let societal expectations keep them from doing what they wanted reinforced my own personal thoughts that social norms often must be challenged but that there are sometimes prices paid by those who challenge them and try to change them. 4.5. I loved this author/illustrator's earlier Exquisite Corpse, I'm a feminist, and I love reading about individuals who have often been ignored by history so how could I pass this one up? The fact that the book contains thumbnail sketches of 29 women who didn't let societal expectations keep them from doing what they wanted reinforced my own personal thoughts that social norms often must be challenged but that there are sometimes prices paid by those who challenge them and try to change them. Still, this is important work that must be done. I'm not entirely sure how she selected her subjects, but they are all fascinating in their own way. Some such as Nellie Bly, Mae Jemison, and Peggy Guggenheim are likely to be familiar to readers while others such as Agnodice, Giorgina Reid, and Sonita Alizadeh won't be. But that doesn't mean they don't deserve notice and aren't just as fascinating as their more famous counterparts. Even for women such as Christine Jorgensen, Hedy Lamarr, and Jesselyn Radack whose stories are well-known, as it turns out, what we thought we knew about these women wasn't the whole truth, and they had much more to themselves that they were given credit for. Each woman receives several panels that detail her life from birth to death with milestones along the way, and then, the artist has created a double-page spread honoring each one with colors and symbols that typified their lives. The individual panels rely on carefully-drawn lines and carefully-chosen colors to bring the subjects to live with facial wrinkles clearly present and eyes filled with intelligence, awareness, and determination. By the time I finished each panel, I felt as though I knew the woman and wanted to get to know her even more. From Clementine Delait, the bearded woman who brokered her facial hair to fame and economic independence to Peggy Guggenheim, who loved modern art and its creators fiercely, it is clear that these were women with which to reckon, forces that changed the world in some way. For young girls looking for some examples of ways to do so or for someone to look up to, this book is the perfect starting place. ...more

  I'm sure it's partially due to having a really tough week, but I got so emotional reading this book. There were several points throughout reading this today that I got choked up...I was so overwhelmed by the successes of these women, the obstacles they faced, their brains, their panache, their feistiness. I really enjoyed Exquisite Corpse and California Dreamin', and after this, I am so solidly in Camp Bagieu, I need to track down all her work even if I can barely read it because it was never tr I'm sure it's partially due to having a really tough week, but I got so emotional reading this book. There were several points throughout reading this today that I got choked up...I was so overwhelmed by the successes of these women, the obstacles they faced, their brains, their panache, their feistiness. I really enjoyed Exquisite Corpse and California Dreamin', and after this, I am so solidly in Camp Bagieu, I need to track down all her work even if I can barely read it because it was never translated from the original French.
  
  To be sure, these are broad portraits of complex women, but I dare anyone to read this and walk away without having their curiosity burning hot. I seriously want to read biographies of every woman featured here now. The way she presents them gives you just enough information to get hooked. This is exactly what I wanted Ann Shen's Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World to be, but never got. This is an incredibly inclusive representation--old and young, the gamut of professions, LGBTQ, ancient history and more recent...you name it. Bagieu, even in these short bios, provided new information about the women I already was familiar with, and introduced me to many more that I may have never heard of otherwise. That list of 30 more women at the end better mean she'll be publishing a Part 2. I have a strong feeling I'll be buying this when it comes out in March.
  
  Many thanks to First Second and Net Galley for the advanced copy of this wonderful collection. ...more

  my skin is clear. my gpa is up. spring has come early. i'm hydrated. i have been cured of my nearsightedness.
  
  i could not have d r e a m e d up a more perfect book.
  
  this book contains: trans women, gay women, bi women, straight women, pan women, black women, asian women, native american women, middle eastern women, white women, autistic women, disabled women. there are living women and dead women and women who are so dead that it's like, maybe she was born around the year 350? there are women i'v my skin is clear. my gpa is up. spring has come early. i'm hydrated. i have been cured of my nearsightedness.

  this book contains: trans women, gay women, bi women, straight women, pan women, black women, asian women, native american women, middle eastern women, white women, autistic women, disabled women. there are living women and dead women and women who are so dead that it's like, maybe she was born around the year 350? there are women i've heard of and women i've long obsessed over and women i'd never heard of because SOCIETY IS UNJUST.
  
  the art is beautiful, whether it's the comic-style panels that make up most of the book or the two-page spreads at the end of every entry, all of which i want to Frame And Hang But Also Print On The Backs Of My Eyelids.
  
  i've been struggling to read a bit this month. i read 20 books last month, and 28 the month before, and as of today (March 5) i hadn't finished one yet in March. (oh how unbelievable. oh the suffering. oh is there no humanity.) i kind of forced myself through a short book today, but no book could catch my attention. i opened the Fierce Reads package containing this yesterday, and must have kept it in the back of my mind since, because i picked it up today without thinking. and didn't put it down. through dinner or cleaning or cookie-baking or anything else.
  
  i needed this book in childhood, and i needed it as a teenager, and i need it now and i'll continue to need it forever. i know absolutely that i'll return to this book always.
  
  this is going on my all-time favorites list. this is a book that i will recommend to all women, and all men, and all people of all genders because it is so important and beautiful and necessary.
  
  as i finished this book, i got choked up. because it's over, and because it is such a gift.
  
  at the end, Pénélope Bagieu includes a list of 30 more badass women, and oh my god if this world is worthy of loving Bagieu will write a book for them, too.
  
  bottom line: maybe i will come back and write more later, because i have the feeling i will never be done talking about this book.
  
  thank you, thank you, thaaaaank you to fierce reads for the ARC ...more

  I loved the diversity in this book. There are women featured from different times, different places, different backgrounds. They have made so many different things of themselves: scientists, inventors, activists, lawyers, warriors, perpetually learning and doing. Fascinating.

  With her characteristic wit and dazzling drawings, Pénélope Bagieu profiles the lives of formidable female role models, some world famous, some little known. From Nellie Bly to Mae Jemison, or Josephine Baker to Naziq al-Abid, their stories are sure to inspire the next generation of rebel ladies.
