DESCRIPTION:
"Empowering & inspiring quick read for all ages" according to Amazon Customer. Loved this book. I learned a lot and my baby sister did too. We read it together and all day she couldn't stop telling ppl about the things women invented! By the end of the day she was thinking she would like to invent something too! Such an empowering book!. Water&#Content does not match coolness of the cover. The cover & title made it seem like the whole book will be jaw dropping & spectacular. Not so. As far as actual content goes, it's very very scarce. The wording is bland & boring. Not enough photos of the "ingenous" invention. Not enough women were featured (9 women--- that's it---only 9 featuring the following inventions: chocolate chip cookies(huh?), windshield wiper(awesome!), kevlar (awesome), snugli, liquid paper, scotch guard, co. 9;s Wdge said Content does not match coolness of the cover..

Inspire Our Girls! Paige Berzy I bought this book for my daughter, who is 8. She had just completed a week of Camp Invention, which was offered by her school during the summer, so this was an inspiring follow-up to that experience. She really enjoyed it. There was a nice text-to-picture ratio and not at all boring. I would recommend this to anybody who has daughters or who works with girls between the ages of 8 to 10.
