A book for everyone!

This is a book that young adults (middle school) and older can read, enjoy, and learn from. It's great to browse through...each piece is about three pages long and includes a photo or drawing. Any such listing is of course going to be controversial...and that's part of the author's purpose. Who do you think is in it? Who should be? Is Mother Jones (number 14) more influential than Elizabeth I (number 16)? And who was Ida Tarbell? In the end, it's not the ranking that matters but the stories. Well done!

I thought it was a great book. Enjoyed every minute of it.

I have read many of Ms Felder's books and I have enjoyed each and everyone. She is good writer.

Overall very good but the author needs to do more research

I read this book and was very impressed with the women featured and the research that had gone into it until I reached Queen Victoria. Ms. Felder stated that Queen Victoria had commissioned the Victoria Cross for bravery where it was in fact her husband, Prince Albert, who commissioned the medal in his wifes name. It is of course a small point but it had me wondering what else was inaccurate in her book. Saying that though, her choices revealed women that I had not even heard of or realised their contribution to society as a whole, so where I would have easily given 4 stars as I found the book very educational I must deduct at least 1 for lack of research.

One of the Most Important Books of the Decade

I have learned a great deal from reading this book. It is important for all women and men to know these influential women and what they did to affect our world. When read completely, this book can change how we as women perceive ourselves. Using Woman Studies professors as judges was a stroke of genius. I think the editors need to brush up some errors in facts and pictures, and rerelease it.

With the aid of women's studies professors from leading U.S. colleges and universities, Felder has ranked 100 social reformers, women's rights activists, scientists, educators, labor leaders, politicians, rulers, religious leaders, artists, performers, and sports figures who have inspired and changed the world. Profiles include Marie Curie, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Lucille Ball, Simone de Beauvoir, and Rosa Parks. Photos throughout.
