Praise for The Little Book of Feminist Saints

“An enticing collection of biographical portraits of extraordinary women . . . Pierpont’s pithy write-ups are accompanied by Thapp’s funky, wonderfully expressive color illustrations, making for an engaging picture-book experience for adults. . . . Bold and sassy, [this] ‘little’ collection of secular ‘saints’ stands tall: required reading for any seeking to broaden their historical knowledge.”Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Small enough to tuck into a bag, this delightful book offers instant inspiration.”BookPage

“A gloriously diverse, edifying, and curiosity-inspiring collection.”Booklist
