Thank you Lerner Publishing Group for providing me with an e-ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for my impartial review. 

I really enjoyed this book, and it was very educational and eye-opening. It featured, just as the title says, various women in places of power changing the world by talking the talk and walking the walk. 

I love that this list was not white washed, so focus was also placed on Black women, Asian women, Latina women, and other women of color. Each entry gave us a brief insight into the life and early backgrounds of each woman. It was so interesting to see women from all kinds of backgrounds rise to power in different ways and after overcoming so many obstacles. 

The graphics and illustrations added to the book were really good, and they made the book greatly vibrant and more interesting. 

I recommend this to every girl and woman out there!

In a complicated political era when the United States feels divided, this book celebrates feminism and female contributions to politics, activism, and communities. Each of the forty-four women profiled in this illustrated book has demonstrated her capabilities and strengths in political and community leadership and activism, both in the United States and around the world. Written in an approachable, journalistic tone and rounded out by beautiful color portraits, history, key political processes, terminology, and thought-provoking quotes, this book will inspire and encourage women everywhere to enact change in their own communities and to pursue opportunities in public affairs.
