She Represents

What I love about this book is the quality of information that is written in a kid friendly way for intermediate students to access. The book also states the purpose in the introduction of WHY it's important to learn about these historical figures. I also appreciate the diversity of leaders chosen both in terms of race/ethnicity and political affiliation. There are also non-political leaders in this book as well. I will definitely be putting this in our school library.

She Represents is an important resource for young people who want to learn more about women in politics. In the same vein as Bad Girls Throughout History by Ann Shen or Women in Science by Rachel Ignotofsky, She Represents shows girls all the ways in which women have contributed to politics and helps them imagine a future for themselves there as well.

This book includes women from across the world and throughout history, and does not omit anyone due to her political viewpoint. I especially appreciated that Donohue chose to include some lesser-known figures such as women who serve on city councils, alongside Senators and Prime Ministers. This sends the message that jobs at any level can be important and have an impact on the world. Furthermore, every child will have the opportunity to see themselves in at least one of these profiles, which is powerful.

This would be a good reference for the home or classroom, especially for children who are just learning to research/read sources. The illustrations and definitions of political terms are also fun and kid-appropriate.

An important read for today's world! Caitlin Donohue teaches readers about important women in politics whom everyone should know about. She writes in an informative way, yet easy to read. All voters - current and future - should pick up this book!

I love love LOVED this book! I thought each section on each politician was in depth and non-bias- which I truly appreciate. The quotes and achievements section was constructed in a way that really further proved the points it was making in the earlier sections. There was a great balance of diversity in this book with different backgrounds, political parties, sexualities, and race. This is a very important read and I would highly recommend this to anyone during this time! Also...the artwork is gorgeous! 10/10!!

This book is full of interesting mini-biographies of women in leadership positions around the world. The women included in this book all fall in different areas of the political spectrum, but each is inspirational in her own way and has had an impact on the nation in which she lives and serves. I hope the author plans to continue this series by including more women from African and Asian nations as well.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC.

This book was absolutely amazing!
As a woman who is studying political science, this book was such a delight.
It's really important to connect young people and especially young women with the world of politics. The biographical format of this book makes it very easy and accessible to read.
A few of my favourite woman in this book were Angela Merkel, Jacinda Arden, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto & Maxine Waters.
Also really loved the illustrations of all these powerful and intelligent women.
