Editorial Reviews

11/01/2021

Gr 3–7—An eclectic mix of five women and their respective professions are related in these volumes. Harriet Tubman was a former enslaved person who not only escaped captivity but also brought others to free states, Serena Williams is a respected tennis player, Sonia Sotomayor is a justice of the United States Supreme Court, Mae Jemison is an astronaut, and Pink is a pop superstar. Each book begins with a description of a significant event in the subject's life. Information pertaining to their personal and professional lives is presented in chronological order. Each biography shows the women in a positive light although Pink's problems with drugs and William's issues with depression are included. The narratives, unfortunately, read like school textbooks; the information is good, but readability is lacking. The accompanying photographs are fine but not enticing—browsers are unlikely to choose. VERDICT There are many suitable biographies of most of these women elsewhere and these titles have little new to offer; at best they are optional purchases where there is very high demand.
