Cink has put together mini biographies of super women found in the Marvel universe in a nonfiction style. Descriptions for each character share just enough information to make me want to read the comics to know these superheroes better. We often connect with superheroes because they are people, too, who make mistakes and experience hardships that require hard work to overcome. Each hero has lessons to teach us; lessons that, if taken seriously, help us to become heroes ourselves—everyday heroes.
