Editorial Reviews

"Welcome additions to most libraries." – School Library journal, Series Made Simple

From the Publisher

04/01/2020

Gr 5–8—By highlighting four women whose names are on the rise in national politics, this series offers a window into the subjects' lives that the headlines ignore. Each title begins with an introduction to the woman highlighted and then backtracks to provide in-depth coverage of their early lives, influences, and experiences that led them to their current positions. The writing is crisp and engaging. Color photographs are included throughout the narrative. Helpful sidebars and questions that inspire critical thinking are interspersed throughout the text. VERDICT These will be welcome additions to most libraries as they offer some currency to the "women in politics" genre of biography.
