Badass Books

I wanted to write a really quick post to promote one of my favorite badass books about badass chicks.

"Great Gals: Inspired Ideas for Living a Kick-Ass Life" by Summer Pierre is a beautifully illustrated book about awesome, inspiring women from history and modern times.  One of the things I like about the book is that their bios aren't just a highlight reel of what was amazing about their lives, but also what was hard for them, their struggles, what they thought about themselves, and what society thought about them.  My favorite thing about the book though is that it's interactive.  In between the bios are pages with prompted list making, brainstorming, and free writing.  It encourages you to think about what you admire in these women and apply it to your own life.  A book that encourages women to live a more "kick-ass life"?  Now that's badass.
