Women who changed the world

Women who changed the world
Reviewed on 2/26/20

An app with mini-biographies of more than 10 influential women throughout history.  This app features women from a variety of races, nationalities, specialties and eras.  Read the text yourself or choose to have the app narrated aloud.  There are mini-actions and quick quizzes sprinkled throughout the stories --  most of which contribute to the storyline, but not all of which are intuitive to figure out how to do.  At the end of the illustrated biographies, there are photos of each of the featured women and a little more in-depth information if users want to learn more.  Some of the stories deal with difficult topics, so you might want to explore this app together with your child the first time they encounter it, especially if they are very young. This app can also be enjoyed in all of the following languages: English, Catalan, Chinese, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish.
