Short little biographies of 25 impressive women by 25 artists of varying talent. Fun and educational.For fans of Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World (my favorite) and Femme Magnifique.

I did have some disagreement with Neil Gaiman over this over who should have been included. They had to stop some time or it would have been thousands of pages long.If you want in-depth stories then use these stories as an introduction to these people.I liked the "what do you have in common with this person" section at the start of each story.

I JUST LEARNED SO MUCH IN READING THIS. I had no idea a woman basically built the Brooklyn bridge. Didn’t know about mother Jones. That Nellie Bly paved the way for female journalists. That kate warne was such a badass. There’s so much I didn’t know! This should be required reading for ALL children. Girls need to know that they should be noisemakers and boys should understand that girls have changed the course of history too.I LOVED IT SO MUCH.

This book is written for elementary school students, ages 5-12, like Kazoo magazine. And yet, it was still a weak effort in two respects: firstly, the content of each story was very inconsistent. Sometimes you got a profile of the woman's accomplishments, but sometimes not even that. Second, there were only one or two non-American women featured. Too ethnocentric for the 21st century. If you want to read a book about some amazing women, I recommend reading Brazen by Penelope Bagieu instead.

Adding this to the top of my new library book order! I absolutely adored this nonfiction biographical graphic novel. It was so different than any I’d ever read and I learned so much about women from the past that I didn’t know about before. I think our students will connect with many of the 25 women written about in this book and see similarities in them as well. #MaverickList

I agree with some critics that some profiles were too short and too Western-centric. I would have liked a few different choices too, like Claudette Colvin instead of Rosa Parks. I think it also would have been nice to see someone noted for being LGBTQIA+ However, I found the short list of characteristics at each profile was one feature that really set this above a lot of informational anthologies; it showed thoughtful research and each list was creative + relatable. Additionally, I loved that ea...

Featuring the stories of 25 outspoken women who refused to be silenced or limited by the expectations of others, this graphic anthology will surely provide inspiration for today's girls. Although many of the women featured here will be familiar to anyone interested in feminism or groundbreaking women, others won't be as familiar, but all of the stories offer introductions to their subjects that will surely entice curious readers to learn more. Since the book is divided into six sections: Grow, T...

These short bios on influential women throughout history are just enough to get young readers to do more research and learn about the ones who interest them. Like other reviewers, I do wish there had been less of a focus on American women but understand why Kazoo handled it that way. I liked that there's a variety of art styles and the intro pages where readers can consider their personal strengths. A MG stepping stone to Penelope Bagieu's Brazen.

I loved this graphic anthology of women world changers. The different styles in the art work were interesting to look at and there was a good mix of biographies. I liked that each story began with a list of things kids can look to see what they have in common with the person featured. I think kids hear about people who do these amazing things and don’t always make the connection that they can too. It seems like a good tool to prompt connections between themselves and these amazing “noise makers”...

very cute, inspiring anthology for kids!! not sure why neil gaiman is quoted on the cover but ok

Noisemakers was a really cute and informative anthology of short biographical comics about 25 women in history. I read a lot of these types of collected biographies, and I have to say, this one had a good layout, consistent quality, and a decent mix of women featured. It was a little too American-centred for my tastes, but there was still a decent amount of variety in the women featured and I was surprised to find I wasn't familiar with a few of them. Recommended for anyone ages 8+ who enjoys co...

I love graphic novel anthologies, because you get to see the style of so many different artists at once. I love them even more when they are interesting and insightful, and this book is both! I really enjoyed the mini introductions to these 25 women and the ways each was made relevant to today's readers. I was unfamiliar with a few of the "noisemakers" (maybe 5 of them?), but I think the target audience will know very few of them. I am excited for the readers of this book to get to know these 25...

This book was organized somewhat differently that others I have read about influential women. Instead of chronological order, it was set up in different categories, such as artists, environmentalists, activists, etc. Each person in the book was illustrated by a different person, so there was no consistency in the graphics, which kind of made it distracting because the content varied as well. The beginning of each section had a brief intro and then each female had highlights of the life asking th...

The good here is that this is a wide ranging (within the Western world) set of micro-biographies of interesting women, done by an even wider variety of comic artists and preceeded each time by a bullet list of personality characteristics to get the (presumably young) reader thinking of how they could tackle the same adventures and challenges as the person being profiled. The great here is that this serves as a jumping off point to discover a lot of comic artists that you might not find outside o...

Enjoyable but too brief an overview. Might have preferred a multi volume series that allowed each individual more time. Liked the range and breadth of the categories though, as well as the mix of art.

This was super cute, super informative children’s graphic novel about women in history. I’d recommend it for ages 8-12 but it honestly even taught me quite a bit about some notable women that I hadn’t heard of before. Which is why I love checking out kidlit because it’s fast, short bursts of information that’s easy for me to grasp and absorb and will set me off on my own internet rabbit holes of research!
