#75 Rejected Princesses: Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics by Jason Porath

I must say that I was following this on Tumblr before the author got a book deal.  This is a great look at women throughout history and not just the few famous names you might have heard mentioned.  I read the book to see if it was appropriate for my young nieces and I might hold off a bit since the book doesn’t shy away for rape and torture that happens to some of the women.  The book does have a rating system with the stories set up on a maturity scale.  The art depictions of each of the women do try and blend in themes and objects about their story in the picture.  Overall this is a great book to give someone that likes history to be able to sample facts from around the world and various time frames.  A good jumping off point to find out more about each of these women.
