Storie della buonanotte per bambine ribelli. 100 vite di donne straordinarie

This book presents one hundred short biographies of women from history and from the present, each written as a bedtime story and accompanied by an illustrated portrait by a different female artist. The subjects include Marie Curie, Frida Kahlo, Ada Lovelace, Serena Williams, Malala Yousafzai and many less well-known figures, such as scientists, pirates, athletes and chess players. Each profile is a single page, with a fairy-tale opening, and a short account of the woman's achievements.

It is for children and parents looking for short stories at bedtime about women who made their own way. Readers come away with a handful of role models and the idea that a girl can aim at anything.

Practical and clear-cut; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
