Reviews
Praise for Wonder Women : " Wonder Women isn't just filled with extraordinary tales of female scientists and inventors - though there are plenty of them - [Maggs] also includes sections on espionage and adventure, fields not traditionally associated with STEM."-- Entertainment Weekly "We could all stand to learn more about women in STEM fields, and Maggs, whose book The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy is a gem, is just the writer to lead the way." --Bustle "Both thorough and easy to digest. . . . Maggs writes the descriptions of the women and their achievements in such a way that you're inspired to take the ball and keep running."-- Nerdist "If you know a feminist, punk-rocking preteen who's as concerned with body piercings as she is with book reports, pick up a copy of Maggs's Wonder Women . . . a compelling collection of profiles highlighting history's forgotten women of science, adventure, and espionage. "--The Village Voice "Whether you want to know about suffragists, awesome historical lady ninjas, or the other butt kicking, trailblazing smarties in between, Wonder Women will have something for you!"-- Amy Poehler's Smart Girls Praise for The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy : "Read it cover to cover, and then make sure you share it with all the young girl geeks you know."-- Brit + Co "A handy handbook for being an empowering and happy girl geek."-- Sweety High "A great homage to anything and everything fandom, especially for those new to the genre."-- Reading Eagle "If you or someone else in your life could do with an inclusive, funny, super smart, and sweet introduction to the world of female geeks, look no further."-- The Mary Sue "Through and through, Maggs manages to talk about feminism, fangirling, cons, lingo, and the general idea that you should be yourself, and do that unapologetically, with a great deal of lightheartedness and fun."-- The Frisky, "Maggs writes with a sly sense of humor and irreverence that keeps the text from ever feeling dry or dull. [ Girl Squads ] is upbeat and positive, itself a 'journey of lady solidarity' bound to educate and inspire readers of any gender."-- Shelf Awareness for Readers "An impressively researched and fascinating compendium of history's greatest gal pals."-- Booklist "[ Girl Squads is] exactly the book you need if you're a history buff with a decidedly feminist streak."-- Bustle Praise for Wonder Women : " Wonder Women isn't just filled with extraordinary tales of female scientists and inventors - though there are plenty of them - [Maggs] also includes sections on espionage and adventure, fields not traditionally associated with STEM."-- Entertainment Weekly "We could all stand to learn more about women in STEM fields, and Maggs, whose book The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy is a gem, is just the writer to lead the way." --Bustle "Both thorough and easy to digest. . . .
