Every single book I've read includes the same few women, even as they're telling us to learn about more women. It's a bizarre pattern to notice when we're being told to diversify and expand our knowledge, and Chelsea's book doesn't help it.

Expand only as far as you're allowed, I guess.

On top of everything, JK Rowling is featured in this book as an amazing woman. This book was published in 2018. We knew then, as we know now, that she was not an amazing person of any kind. I think we're fine without her persistence. In fact, we could use less of it.
