33 Things Every Girl Should Know About Women's History

Edited by Tonya Bolden
Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10

This very informative book does a wonderful job of introducing such an important topic that isn't talked about as much as it should be: women's history.

33 Things takes the reader through history and teaches about important women and what they did, big events that affected women, the history of feminism and women's rights, and even interesting topics such as women in music, sports, and literature, and how women's clothing fashions changed over the years.

The aim of this book is not only to empower girls, but to show them where women's empowerment began, and all of the reasons why.  This book helped me to appreciate the rights and status I have as a girl, and the women (and men!) who fought for them.

33 Things presents facts and information in interesting ways, with poems, stories, illustrations, and quotes.  It's the perfect book for a girl to start learning about "her-story."
