Bad Girls

I'm seriously disappointed. I thought it was going to go more into all these women but instead I got surface level reasons on why society considered them ‘bad'.

I think maybe I wanted a little more from this... but then I studied women's history in college and this is a book for tweens, so maybe that's unreasonable. I think it's a great little intro to some famous (and not-so-famous) women of history, as well as to the concept that there are multiple perspectives on historical figures. And that people, especially women, maybe have been operating within a limited framework when they made their options.

I also liked the comic versions of Jane Yolen and her daughter/co-author talking about each “bad girl” and making their own judgement. It feels cute and behind-the-scenes-y, and shows healthy disagreements.
