“Wonder Women” by Sam Maggs along with the illustrations by Sophia Foster-Dimino

In a book written by Sam Maggs and illustrated by Sophia Foster-Dimino, “Wonder Women” tells many unique, edge-of-your-seat, and incredible stories of powerful women in history who set the precedent for women generations after their triumphs to remain strong in the face of adversity and to always fight for your right to be heard as well as seen.

Maggs breaks down the book into different sections. Women in science, medicine, espionage, innovation, and adventure. Using this method, she takes several women’s stories in each chapter and manages to go in-depth about their experiences. Whether it be their triumphs or feats, Maggs brings the most crucial details about their lives to the light and incorporates intricate illustrations by Foster-Dimino.

Each section of the book tells a different life, showing how similar women’s fights were. The book is 239 pages and includes an appendix, bibliography, index, and acknowledgments.
