    Great Resource
    Review by Dawn
    This audio book contains ten great stories about different famous women in history, including Annie Oakley, Helen Keller, Florence Nightingale, and more. Each story is about 10-15 minutes long and it can be listened to altogether as a book or each story stands alone. Great to supplement a history course or just for your listening pleasure. We enjoyed listening just for fun.
    History comes to life!
    Review by JoyfulMommy
    We all, but especially my daughters, have enjoyed these stories of famous women, some well-known and some I had never heard of. I was amazed by the story of Sybil Ludington - such an example of courage! It is fun (and encourages my homeschool mama heart!) to hear a child see something about a person they read about and repeat the name with an understanding tone, like they’re well acquainted, and then tell other siblings about the person. This series is amazing for bringing history to life for my late elementary readers, but having the audiobook makes it useful for the entire family as we listen together in the car or while doing quiet activities. Complements America’s Story wonderfully!
    Perfect for a Road Trip
    Review by Lexie
    If you have a vacation planned, this is just the download you need for a road trip. It was such a blessing to be able to listen to this book while we traveled. My kids looked forward to learning about each of the women in each chapter, and the reader had such an enthusiastic voice which is very enjoyable and engaging. The women covered in this book were some we had heard about before and some we had not, but we all agreed that we learned something from each chapter even if we had read about the person before (esp. the Amelia Earhart section!). They also offer this book in an physical book that would be an excellent addition to a child's library. This audio version was just perfect for my family as my kids had no idea they were secretly getting a history lesson in the car.
    A Great Way to Study History
    Review by Santina
    Another great addition to the What a Character series. Will Staub is an engaging narrator and does a fantastic job of making each story come to life. There is a good mix of well-known biographies as well as some that you may not read about often. These stories of ten different women from American history would make a great supplement to any history or language arts program. The option to listen to each story provides another great resource to help make homeschooling even more enjoyable and successful.
    Audio version for the win!
    Review by Audrey525
    The What a Character series is such a fun edition for families! It is always great to have resources that make learning fun and come to life. We’ve had several books of the series, but we’d never listened to the audio book version. It is so fun and engaging! What a nice option to have school on the go. My kids always have a podcast in the background in their free time, and this is a great tool! I love the idea of having a highlight on different women throughout history. There are some well known names, but also some that are less highlighted. It is uplifting and encouraging to read through these stories. I would personally love to own the entire series in both print and audio to use alongside each other.
    Great resource!
    Review by Becky V.
    My family has absolutely adored the What a Character! series and we love the addition of them as audiobooks. Famous Women in History is my 10-year-old daughter’s favorite one to listen to at the moment. She loves listening to the familiar stories of Helen Keller and Clara Barton, as well as the unfamiliar of Sybil Ludington and Deborah Sampson! It is a great way to expose all my children to amazing stories of our history.

    I personally love using the audiobooks as a resource as we go through America’s Story. We enjoy listening to the stories and accomplishments of these women while we are in the car. They capture my children’s attention AND are educating them at the same time. You just can’t beat that!
    What a fun book!
    Review by Dustie
    What a neat little book to introduce ten special women in history. Florence Nightingale, Amelia Earhart, and others are included in this book. The stories are inspirational and encourage development of good character.
    This book is great for independent reading, as it is fun and has definitions for words that may be unfamiliar or difficult for younger readers to understand. It would make a great read-aloud or morning basket addition. These stories would also be really fun to include with corresponding history lessons, and there’s even a list in the back of the book that notes potential books to pair each chapter with.
    Overall, I highly recommend this entire series of books for every homeschool library. They’re such a fun way to learn bits of history.
