"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."

"The brilliant part of Women of the Galaxy is the mix of female characters that are discussed. From our beloved hero characters to the downright shady, the book has every type covered...The job Amy Ratcliffe does in telling the background stories of the well-known characters is truly incredible."

Review
"It's a handsome, beautifully designed book that will stand out on bookshelves. As a first dip into the female characters of the galaxy it's a must, and as the first book written and drawn entirely by female creators it deserves every ounce of credit and plaudits it gets."

Review
"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."
