Critics Review
The book to buy for daughters … It would make a fine stocking filler with its lively, entertaining, illustrated snippets about the great women in history and the restrictions that they overcame, and will arm readers for arguments about gender equality – Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times *
A little ego-boost for the girls … a reminder, from the Bayeux Tapestry to gladiatrices, no less, of women’s achievements, told in Sandi’s trademark zany, accessible style * Irish Independent *
My grandchildren will be getting this in their stockings … It’s funny and full of facts that may surprise parents too. In a world of hollow celebrity it is a timely polemic that warms my feminist heart – Sheila Hancock * The Times *
There’s a mass of facts and information of all kinds … The result is a book which will make girls realise that anything is possible - and that women have already done most of everything already! – Julia Eccleshare * Love Reading *
Would make fascinating reading for men too … Girls are Best is packed with fascinating facts with which to wow friends. It is an education and a revelation, a great book to dip in and out of and to learn from * Write Away! *
