Women Heroes of World War II is about 26 different women during World War II. Each woman has an incredible story of espionage, sabotage, resistance or rescue. Every chapter could have been a book in itself. One of the women, a dancer named Josephine Baker, became part of the resistance and ran a safe house in southern France. She also did a lot of work in North Africa, keeping an eye on the German military activities for the Allied troops. At the end of each chapter you can find resources that will give you more information on each of the women. 
A History of the World in 100 Objects starts with some of the oldest objects made by men and women. These objects gave me insight into how people used to live and how much we stil have in common with them. Also included in the 100 objects are two from North America. As always, the skill level is unbelievable with the limited tools they had. So start saving your money because you're going to want to visit the British Museum after reading this book!
