It features 10 amazing women who have had an impact on world history: Ellen Ochoa, Isabel Allende, Dara Torres, Frida Kahlo, Linda Ronstadt, Dolores Huerta, Sonia Sotomayor, Carolina Herrera, Rita Moreno, and Sor Juana de la Cruz.

Last (and probably my favorite!) is this brief history of the Adelitas - or soldaderas - of Mexico. Learn who they were and why they are an important part of the history of the Mexican Revolution. This informational text is written for students in 4th - 8th grade. It includes an 8-question comprehension quiz plus answer key.
