From Delilah to Bonnie Parker, this book is a collection of mini biographies about bad girls throughout history. Each lady has a two or three page biography with an illustration followed by an argument between our two our two authors about how bad that lady actually was. These discussions are presented in graphic novel format as an ongoing discussion between the mother/daughter author team.
There is nothing really in depth about the women in the book, but it's strength is really in encouraging readers to view the women in their historical context and to reserve judgement.
This quick and fun read by
Jane Yolen and
Heidi Stemple should encourage readers to find out more about the women so they can get the facts and draw their own conclusions.
