Trade Review
"[A] fascinating middle-grade historical retrospective of 33 extraordinary sororal bonds... The authors astutely draw parallels to pivotal global events – the slave trade, the Industrial Revolution, the Age of Enlightenment and World War II – throughout the text, which is visually supplemented with eye-catching illustrations." * Shelf Awareness *
