Editorial Reviews

04/01/2020

Gr 7 Up—What do Shirley Chisholm, Betty Friedan, Temple Grandin, Wangari Maathai, and Margaret Thatcher have in common? Readers will find out in this four-part series about women who made history in a variety of fields, including the arts, astronomy, math, medicine, politics, and social sciences. There is something for everyone; each volume focuses on a different action or accomplishment and highlights trailblazers in each category. Women of many races, nationalities, and ethnicities are represented. Middle and high school students will find inspiration in the quotes by the women highlighted in each section and will benefit even further from the critical thinking questions at the end of each book. Pictures and text complement each other well and are detailed enough without overwhelming the reader, while remaining academic enough to satisfy complex research assignments. VERDICT An essential, up-to-date series that presents many new and familiar female role models.
