I quite liked about the mouldable rubber and the picture about the modern kitchen.

I don't really like it when in the book the monopoly is not really a mice game

I like non fiction books and this shows how women can be just as good as men at making inventions and things to help people. My favourite is Letitia Geer who invented syringes to give people medicine. I am only giving it 3 stars because it is a bit hard.

It was a good read but I think it was a bit all over the place so maybe the author should have sorted it in to more clearer sections but other than that the information and pictures were really useful to look at and to find out information.
