Reminds me of "Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World". Here we get 100 short stories about famous women, not just scientists.
I read the audiobook, and often missed the pictures, so if you read it, go full picture mode. Some of the stories were very short, so they're probably better suited for younger kids. I'd love to read the short biographies to kids or let them read the stories themselves.
