Sheilas isn’t a straight history book. It’s more like Good Night Stories For Rebel Girls, for grown-ups. Reilly incorporates tweets, personal asides and anecdote, and lots of fun trivia. That makes it a quick read, but only a loosely informative one. It's a great introductory guide to amazing Australian women who might otherwise be forgotten.

My full review of Sheilas is up now on Keeping Up With The Penguins.
