Holiday Gift Pick "Devoted fans will likely recognize most (if not all) of the rogues, rebels, and imperials in the full-page illustrations, but the visually rich Women of the Galaxy also serves as an excellent introduction to the series for any interested reader-of any age or gender identity."-Fortune.com--
-" Women Of The Galaxy by Amy Ratcliffe is a timely and welcome book celebrating the female characters who have entertained and enthralled us throughout the 'Star Wars' saga. It provides an in-depth look, both in story terms and behind-the-scenes, of the women who have stood up to the Dark Side or in some cases, fully embraced it."-SF Crowsnest--
-"Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy is beautifully designed. From the stunning Rey and Leia front and back cover art done by Jen Bartel to the page layouts and the use of character names in Aurabesh as a dividing line, the book looks monumental and modern at the same time."-FANgirl blog--
-"Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy is wonderfully illustrated, with 100 all new illustrations by a range of female and non-binary artists. . . . Too often the story of Star Wars is presented as driven by male characters but Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy demonstrates the strong and inspiring female characters that helped tell the story and shape the Star Wars universe."-This is Cool--
-"this is not only good for the Star Wars fan who knows everything about this universe, but for the more casual fan looking to get into the world or even for a future Star Wars fan you are cunningly trying to convert so you can nerd out about Star Wars together. You're welcome."-Den of Geek!--
-"[Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy] contains profiles of 75 canonical female characters, fully illustrated in a striking array of styles (a postcard set's also available). The text deftly weaves in-universe and out; obscure pastel droid R2-KT will remain in your memory banks much longer after reading her heart-rending off-screen backstory."-Total Film--
-"A beautiful anthology...that will inspire you again and again with stories of courage, daring, and love from the women whose stories influenced your childhood and those who continue to do so through new additions to the canon. Star Wars fans will love this book and it will especially resonate with women and girls looking to find their own place in the galaxy."Geek Mom--
