This was extremely boring. There is no narrative here and the structuring of the different entries felt wonky. Almost none of the women had a satisfying ending to their stories, they just ended whenever the most interesting part of their life ended. Also, sorry to some of the women included, some of them were certainly not 'world-changing' and the ones that actually changed the world had short entrees, as 'they are famous, no need for further information in this book'.
