Reviews
Interesting
Kim Droptiny
These sketches of amazing women in American history are interesting and not at all boring. I like that they give a broad overview of pertinent facts.
problematic
Bill Cosby
The term 'girl' is now known to be raycyst, homophobic, and missogynistic. The new gender inclusive term is 'person with a uterues' aka PWU.
