This compilation provides a solid background to any discussion that women have always been there, creating herstory to compliment history, With many of the speeches coming from events that demonstrate that women can be in positions of power, even in past centuries.

Wonderful selection of speeches. A great trip down history’s long path for women. Loved every excerpt.

**I received and voluntarily read an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

There are some amazing speeches to be found in this book. As with all collections such as this one, you feel as if there are a few speeches that were missed, You'll find some bits and pieces that you've heard before, but I guarantee you've probably never seen or heard most of these speeches in their entire form.

Overall, it's great collection of speeches from women around the globe. I'd definitely recommend adding it to any girl's shelf to help her feel empowered when she's feeling down.

I love non-fiction that makes you feel empowered and inspired - this beautiful book and collection of women's speeches does exactly that. Anna Russell takes you through a history of Women's Speeches from around the globe including short bio's about each Womxn which is incredibly useful.

I found each page was filled with inspiration, insightful information and illustrations to admire. Anna Russell has included a multitude of speeches from remarkable Women including Queen Elizabeth I, Emmeline Pankhurst, Emma Watson, Malala Yousafzai and Michelle Obama. This is the type of book you want to share with your friends, your sisters, your daughters and to just have on show for everyone to read and consume.

I loved the diversity of the book, the learnings from each speech but ultimately the way that every orator enforces the power of equality for all.

As a woman, it is important to have females to look to: for inspiration; in times of uncertainty; or simply just to learn from. This book does all of that and more.

Beautifully illustrated, and concentrating on one female at a time - from Queen Elizabeth I to Emma Watson - covered in here are women from all walks of life who have achieved wonderful things.

A perfect gift for any woman in your life.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

This is sweet if you're a kid. I could have done with it being less cutesy and with more solid information on these women and their lives and with more text from their speeches.

This is a book to dip into, to savor and to save. It will give girls and women a wonderful sense of what female speakers have talked about over the centuries. This title begins with a speech by Elizabeth I and ends with one given by Maya Lin. In between are many voices and authors with which readers are familiar and others that are new. To name just a few of those included: Sojourner Truth, Mary Church Terrell, Nellie MCClung, Nancy Astor, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hilary Clinton, Angela Merkel, and Emma Watson. I will want a hard copy of this title when it is issued as it is a book to return to time and again.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
