Reviews for The Science of Strong Women: The True Stories Behind Your Favorite Fictional Feminists

“Rhiannon Lee has compiled the ultimate collection of fictional feminist heroes across literature and pop culture without shying away from problematic histories—a master class in the deeply feminist tension of critiquing and celebrating cultural icons in the same breath. From the characters we met in high school lit to the characters in our Netflix queue, The Science of Strong Women is a must-read book for all the Starr Carters, Leslie Knopes, and Leia Organas out there.” —Renee M. Powers, founder of FeministBookClub.com “A total sensation! Beautifully illustrated frank, funny, and an inclusive guide to true feminism and some of the world’s greatest badass babes. Girl power!” —Ella Norman, The Pink Room
