As an adult, I enjoyed this book. I really liked that the author included women from sports that don't get as much coverage as others and included women with disabilities. Each lady had a story, lesson, accomplishment, and fun facts about them. The individual sections weren't too long, and I enjoyed reading about women that I had no idea about. Althought there were some typos and grammatical errors, this was a good book overall.

I liked the short bio format of the book as well as the illustrations and trivia in the back. This does a great job of covering a good amount of female athletes and even shines a light on the future of women's sports. Very inspiring!

I got this for my 10 year-old goddaughter after having read it first. Each story felt honest—not just about medals or trophies, but the hard parts too. Some of the names she already knew, others were new to both of us. She liked that it wasn’t just the usual sports—there’s a good mix. It sparked questions, and even better, it got her talking about trying something new. No fluff, no fake hype—just real stories that stick. It's the kind of book she'll come back to on her own.

Giving young kids something to inspire them is one of the most important things, and there's not enough good books for girls to give them good examples for them to develop a dream. The stories in this book are amazing showing what any woman can become
This book is full of short non-fiction stories about female athletes. There are also fun things like where are they now, life lessons, greatest moments, and fun facts about the athletes. These stories are wonderful for kids, but also for adults who want to read something easy and engaging. I especially liked the ones about Serena, Venus, and Simone Biles.To the author, please proofread the manuscript. It doesn't take away from the book itself, but there are some typos. Thank you!

The first thing that I noticed in the table of contents was how diverse the selection of athletes are and this is something that I appreciate to see. I read some to my daughter about the sports that she was interested in and we were both amazed together. This highlights some amazing athletes and is a great book for women and girls to read. I enjoyed how it also highlighted the obstacles that some of the athletes faced during their career. It is an eye opener to those who just think that they got things handed to them.

This book was very informative and allows the reader to learn and take a deeper look at female athletes.
This is a great read for girl and young women rising athletes. The true stories provide include life lessons to encourage young athletes to strive for greatness in athletics and life. It has lots of resources to learn more about each athlete if desired. And it includes a quiz at end.
This is an excellent book for young athletes of all kinds. Though it highlights female athletes and their contributions to sports and beyond, it is appropriate for all ages, genders, and anyone interested in sports whether they are considering participating, are actively involved, or are an avid audience to competitive sports. It's broken down into three sections of multiple chapters, each chapter highlights a different athlete and their journey in competitive sports. There are quizzes and additional resources listed so it is a book that can be as educational or recreational as desired. The chapters are short enough to be used as a bedtime story book at home or a short and fun lesson plan in the classroom for young readers. Though it's valuable to all children, it's especially empowering to young women who too often find it difficult to find information on prominent female athletes and their contributions to sports. Highly recommend for female athletes and avid readers of all ages but a fantastic resource and educational content for young readers in the classroom or reading program.
