Thank you to the author for sending me a physical copy of '365 Days of Gutsy Women' in exchange for an honest review. I loved that it was personalized signed! I find this detail so lovely!

A delightful, must-read biography book centered on women, this book talks about activists and rebels, educators and philosophers, scientists and innovators, authors and poets, leaders, artists and musicians, and goddesses. All women. 

I loved this book a lot! If you have read a few book reviews of mine before, you can know that I love reading and learning more about women. I do believe it is so important to educate ourselves and to learn more about the women that have preceded us, and even the actual ones. 

The dynamic in this book is interesting, as does the way every biography is written. I especially loved this! 

This dynamic goes by weeks and days: 

On day 1 (Mondays) of every week you will have a biography of female activists/rebels, such as Emmeline Pankhurst, an activist that fought for British women's rights to vote, and Fatima Al-Fihri, who funded a mosque and an university, and is an inspiration for her perseverance and wisdom.

Day 2 (Tuesdays), educators and philosophers, such as Elizabeth Peabody, an educator that fought for women's suffrage and the rights of Native Americans, and Elisabeth Abegg, a German educator that helped refugees and spoke against Nazism. 

Day 3 (Wednesdays), scientists and innovators, such as Ada Lovelace, who is considered to be the first computer programmer because of her achievements as a Mathematician, and Janaki Ammal, an Indian botanist that worked with plants and made great achievements and researches. 

Day 4 (Thursdays), authors and poets, such as Frances Burney, an inspiration for novelists and writers, and Gwendolyn Brooks, one of the most important and influential poets of the 20th century.

Day 5 (Fridays), leaders, such as Elizabeth I, one of the most powerful English rulers, and Helen of Anjou, Consort Queen of Serbia in the Middle Ages that was widely known for her religious torance.

Day 6 (Saturdays), artists and musicians, such as Georgia O'Keeffe, one of the most famous American painters, and Marian Anderson, an African American contralto that fought racism and made a lot of achievements while performing all over the planet.

Day 7 (Sundays), goddesses, such as Artemis, Greek Goddess of the hunt, and the Moon, and Eostre, the Germanic Goddess of spring and dawn. 

I loved the way the author wrote every brief biography along with a few comments from the author and extra information about the women's lives and achievements. 

I enjoyed a lot reading this book, and I do highly recommend you to do so. It's an effervescent, and brief but explicative way of narrating a biography. 

Until next post! ♡
