It's a really great overview of the popular female characters. It lets you know who's who without having to scour the internet or read a million comics.
Very helpful for grasping each character's general story and approach and how many of them are connected to one another, but the didactic, "just keep trying!" "girls need to help other girls!" "fight the patriarchy!" "it's okay if you're not perfect!" bits got a little old whilst reading one entry after another.
Great read with my daughter to read synopses & details on great female characters in Marvel & MCU movies

I am a huge Marvel fan so I knew I had to read this book. My all time favorite superhero is Squirrel Girl and she is included in this book.
Each hero gets about 4 pages dedicated to her; complete with a biography and fun facts. I loved that everyone got an equal amount of attention. This book is aimed at a young adult/middle grade audience, so at times the writing and messages can feel slightly juvenile. It’s also more a primer so it’s not going to go in depth into every little detail about these ladies.
Additionally, I enjoyed the selection of women featured. There was a good balance of well known characters (e.g. Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch) and lesser known ones (e.g. Silk, Moon Girl, Hellcat).
The best part of the book was the artwork. The artwork is absolutely stunning. The artist did a phenomenal job with each portrait. It was refreshing seeing them redrawn in a different style. Every woman looked fierce!
Overall, I enjoyed learning about all these heroic ladies! I recommend this book for fans of Marvel’s female superheroes or to anyone who wants to learn more about them. It also would make a great gift.… (mehr)
