Lives of Extraordinary Women: Rulers, Rebels (and What the Neighbors Thought)

by Kathleen Krull
Illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt
PRMS hardcover 94 pages
genre: non-fiction

This was entertaining and easy reading, but not a very good source of information for history day. This would be good for someone who isn't sure about their topic choice, especially if they are interested in strong women. The info is interesting and accurate (I believe), but none of the people are written about in-depth. From Cleopatra to Elizabeth I to Rigoberta Menchu, I knew of most of the women featured, but learned about a few new ones.
