I adore Sam Maggs’ quirky sense of style in her illustrations. This adorable little book features so many incredible women throughout history.

But even reading this for the first time in my late 20s, I felt so encouraged by how far women have come. Even with so far to go, I was so proud of all the things we have already accomplished.
