This nonfiction picture book has twenty-five page long biographies (X is a unique tribute to all those “women whose names we don’t know”) about historic women, including many less often lauded historical figures such as Dolores Huerta, The Grimke Sisters, Patti Smith and Ursula LeGuin. The biographies span two centuries, and some of those profiled are still living.
