What reviewers said
“Kari’s background as a professional researcher brings the most interesting parts of life to the surface for all to see. In Strong Women, Kari makes visible the most badass and forgotten stories of women you’ll wish you had learned about in school (instead of those boring white men and their quarrels). Kari writes from the heart in a fresh, inclusive perspective like the ‘cooler older sister’ I wish had taught my history classes. A must-read for all young, strong women.”
“A colorful, inspiring collection of incredible women whose stories were lost to history—until now. Each profile presents a thorough but easy-to-digest portrait of these exceptional, ambitious women who broke through boundaries to enrich our world across a spectrum of fields. You'll be enthralled, feel all the feels, and want to share this book with all the kick-ass women you know.” —Emmy Favilla, author of A World Without "Whom": The Essential Guide to Language in the BuzzFeed Age
“Kari Koppel's book is a beautiful tribute to generations of women whose extraordinary stories deserve to be told. Offering both quick summaries and deep dives into the lives of each individual woman, this book is the perfect companion for both the casual reader and the thoughtful historian. A staple for any curious woman (or man!) interested in the lives of the female pioneers who have come before us.” —Ashly Perez, writer for Freeform's Good Trouble and the upcoming book Read This For Inspiration
