Customer Reviews

This book is a treasure!

As a parent and teacher of young girls, I found this book to be an inspiration. My 8 year old daughter enjoyed all of the poems and reading them together sparked several discussions about some of the heroines, especially the lesser known women.The illustrations are beautiful. What a great gift for a young girl!

All by Herself: 14 Girls Who Made a Difference

Story of 14 young women, who are heros, some famous, some not. Poems are wonderful, and explain just why each girl is a hero. Illustrations are beautiful and in color. This is an excellent biography book and I would recommend it for students from the 4th grade up, and to the teachers and parents, alike.

Wish my girls had this inspiration when they were children!

The best book I have ever read for making the link between wonderful acts of imagination and/or courage in childhood and the larger than life heros these women became.This has got to be a christmas or birthday book for reading to or by girls from 5 to 10.
