- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I “met” so many brilliant women who wouldn’t be silenced or bullied by the government nor retreat from the ignorance of those who opposed them. This is a wonderful book for young budding feminists or the more mature gals and guys too ?We can all benefit from a dose of #GirlPower ???
