Disappointed!
I wanted to love this book, I really did! I love Eva Chen and have been following her on IG for ever. I was expecting some of her humor and sparkling personality to show up in her books but this is just awful. Some of the women have a small description of why they’re awesome but then some like Dorothy Hodgkin say: D is for Dorothy a crystallographer who won the Nobel Prize for succeeding in the impossible. And that’s it! A little extra research wouldn’t have gone amiss and neither would better writing skills. Some of the female icons have a quote printed which simply doesn’t co-relate to the blurb next to it. And my 3 year old who LOVES reading just didn’t want to read it again. She’s read her Little People Big Dreams books about 50 times and while a little young, still loved the Ordinary People Change the Wod series too.
