Poorly written, not well thought out for younger audiences.
In theory, this book should be Awesome!!! But, some of the stories are not well thought out. Who wants to read a story about how a young girl was approached and pursued at the park to become a uniquely beautiful model, by an unknown man. When her mother says, "no," the man convinces them both and makes her famous. Great...but, should you really be reading stories, to young gals, about listening to random men who approach you at a park...to be a famous model?? In another story, a talented female architect throws a Fit on an airplane and demands that the flight crew unload her luggage, forcing other passengers to wait an extended period of time while she is accomodated and put on a different flight. I think the author may have been trying to emphasise the woman's strong and decisive personality.. But, should we be reading young girls stories that glorify throwing privileged fits on public airlines? In another story, Frida Kahlo was made to sound that she was insecure until Diego told her that she was a good painter (and the story reads a bit like: she would have been nothing without him...that's pretty oversimplified). Anyway, great idea for a book, but very very poorly organized and written.
