This is an alphabet book and each letter references a remarkable woman from American history. For example, R is for Rosie the Riveter and women who went to war. In the book, hundreds of female trailblazers are mentioned including educators, inventors, journalists, athletes and so many more. The illustrations are colorful, cartoon-like and fun to explore. As a reader, I enjoyed the author's inspirational note at the beginning of the book and I learned so many interesting facts about these amazing women. As a teacher, this book could be used during a lesson about famous and influential women and events in US history. An extension activity could be an in-depth report or project about one of the ladies or causes highlighted.
