Wonder Women (Maggs) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[Sam Maggs’s] profiles are more than just fun, they're genuinely astounding…[and] fantastic illustrations by Sophia Foster-Dimino bring these pioneering women to life.
Village Voice


Wonder Women isn’t just filled with extraordinary tales of female scientists and inventors—though there are plenty of them—[Maggs] also includes sections on espionage and adventure, fields not traditionally associated with STEM.
Entertainment Weekly
 

I admire Maggs for making Wonder Women both thorough and easy to digest. When it comes to historical material like this, presentation matters…Maggs writes the descriptions of the women and their achievements in such a way that you’re inspired to take the ball and keep running.

Maggs condenses these storied lives effectively, and young feminists and supporters of women in STEM will applaud.
Booklist


Emphasizing {women] experts of science, medicine, espionage, innovation, and adventure, these individual profiles serve as a solid introduction.... However, readers wishing for in-depth material on specific pioneers should merely use this work as a starting point....down-to-earth and often humorous.... —Mattie Cook, River Grove PL, IL
Library Journal


Maggs' lineup of influential females is well curated and inclusive, while smart illustrations by Sophia Foster-Dimino bring the ladies to life. Wonder Women is a must-read for the girl who's a bit of a geek.
