Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me. The writing style was not what I expected and I did not really enjoy.

I can only echo the sentiments of all the other reviews here, that this is a great self-help book with some empowering messages from some badass babes throughout history. With anecdotes sprinkled throughout activities for self-help, this is a great book for women young and old. The only downside is not really being able to get a proper feel of it through an electronic copy, as it is definitely something you need to write, doodle, scrawl, and highlight all over.

I expected this to be more a self-help journal than anything else so I was surprised that it had less of that than I was anticipating. But I really enjoyed the info about the badass women. I'm not sure it was up my street.

This empowering art book highlights the accomplishments and messages of over 100 badass babes with prompts, art activities, and writing exercises that will encourage you to unearth, fuel, and cultivate your own inner superpowers, unleash your creativity, and find your voice.

Get details on trailblazing, badass babes -- scientists, artists, athletes, writers, activists, poets, entertainers, and boundary breakers -- and you will see how creativity and self-expression combine to energize change in yourself, and in the world. The Badass Babe Workbook is a playground for you to tap into your ideas, find your voice, and be reminded of the difference each of us can make when we are unafraid and assured in what we envision and express.

Definetly worth the read. Loved it.

The book is bright and fun, very interactive. It enables you to express yourself through creative activities. I enjoyed the bios of inspirational women. I think this book would appeal more to younger readers so would just recommend for teens or early twenties. Such a great book for gifting

A fun workbook. If it sounds like something you've been interested in, you'll probably enjoy this. Makes a fun gift.

A fun book which both encourages creativity via drawing, and inspires via stories of 'trailblazing women'. Would have loved this when I was a teenager! Great to see inspiring tales of women, aimed at women.
Thanks to the publisher for a review copy.

Badass Babe brings the words of 100 phenomenal women to light. It gives other badass women an opportunity to create and explore.

Even if you don’t want to get in touch with your inner badass babe you should read this book to learn about some of the badasses featured in its pages.

With the glut of self help/rebel girl books around at the moment, I wasn’t sure about this book going in, but I’m happy to say that it proved me wrong. A fun book, part fact and part activity, that forces readers to think about themselves and ways to achieve what they want and make change, whilst being inspired by women who have done just that.

I am not going to review and rate this book as I was expecting something different. It is a good book but was not the workbook I was thinking it was. Thank you for the opportunity to read this one :)

This book was not quite what I imagined it to be. Although I can see the appeal for a New Adult collection.

Artist Julie Van Grol's Badass Babe Workbook peeks the reader's strong woman and inner Badass Babe in the most creative way: art! The exercises coupled with the added sections of inspiration from trailblazing women is a great companion "workbook" to "I Know a Woman" by Kate Hodges. Her goal of creating a gigantic web of womanhood which celebrates the relationships between the world’s most inspirational and influential women is enhanced as the reader of Grol's guide work through the art exercises to celebrate her own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This workbook has prompts, art activities, and writing exercises to empower the reader. For me, it was the writing exercises that really inspired me.

I got a copy of this from NetGalley for review purposes, and after finishing it, immediately ordered a print copy at Amazon. That should probably tell you what I think of it.

This book is interactive, calling upon the stories of more than a hundred women throughout history who kicked ass in their respective fields, and offering prompts and space for the reader to explore her own badassery in the process. It's this great mix of education, art, and writing, too, with sections on portrait drawing and figure drawing, as well as how to collect and embody your own stories.

I kind of want to give a copy to every girl (and woman) that I know.

This book was very fun and inspiration! Using powerful stories and creative exercises to promote things like self-care and self esteem. The achievements of others is a very inspiring way to help people like me. I loved it.

Unfortunately I found this book a little passé for me, although I am sure that some people will get some use out it. The exercises are certainly gauged to focus on peoples skills, and how they best make connections with them. The stories told of famous women are interesting, and certainly a good book to read and flick when time permits - just not terribly powerful as a tool for me

This is a great book for anybody looking to get some inspiration and work on their creativity or find new ways to express themselves. There is also information on other women and what they have done to be fierce, fight injustice and inspire other women to be brave and empower others.

The title of this book was compelling. Any woman who's into arts would be drawn to the Badass Babe Workbook because of that title.

I was expecting this to be a drawing or painting activity book but it turned out to be a lot more about journaling, which sadly I haven't gotten into doing at the moment. So to someone who hasn't been into journaling, this book was not much of an exciting activity for me. I did do some of the drawing activities though, so that was a fun experience.

I was pleasantly surprised to find stories of empowered women within the pages. It was a great way to be inspired by fellow women.

Oh my gosh, I freaking love this book! I learned so much about different women throughout history who were totally badass. I love the writing prompts to inspire you to think. The sketching instruction and prompts were really different for me; I've never thought of myself as any kind of artist, but it was really fun trying out the tips in the book. I'm definitely going to buy multiple copies of this one to gift to the important women in my life. Inspirational AND educational AND entertaining. The complete package.
