Together the books include 200 bedtime stories about the lives of extraordinary women past and present, from Ruth Bader Ginsburg (read by Ashley Judd) to Beyoncé (read by Samira Wiley), Gloria Steinem (read by Danai Gurira), and Malala Yousafzai (read by Alicia Keys). Each short biography is written in the style of a fairy tale and highlights painters, scientists, dancers, chefs, astronauts, jazz singers, pharaohs, boxers, writers, and political leaders from every corner of the globe.
