Girls Who Run the World: 31 CEOS Who Mean Business by Diana Kapp - ESSENTIAL

Girls Who Run the World: 31 CEOS Who Mean Business by Diana Kapp, illustrated by Bijou Karman, 308 pages. NONFICTION. Delacorte Press (Penguin Random House), 2019. 
Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL  

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

These biographies each have a mix of first person responses to questions and third person biographies along with one main illustration of the women and mini illustrations along the way. Each biography is around eight pages long. 

This is a very powerful exploration of women in power. The anthology is interesting and inspiring. I love that the illustrations of the woman show openness but the women aren’t all smiling and cheery, as women are often asked to be.
