Gr 8 Up—Key facts in the lives of accomplished women are presented in these six titles. Activists, astronauts, jurists, politicians, scientists, and entertainers are all featured. Among the more famous women in entertainment and politics, lesser-known but equally prominent figures are featured, such as developer of AIDS drugs Flossie Wong-Staal, Maria Hinojosa who was the first Latina correspondent, designer of the modern bra Ida Cohen Rosenthal, Miss USA Rima Fakih, and Native American activist Suzan Shown Harjo. The narratives provide professional highlights and significant contributions of each subject along with some personal information in chronological order. All in all, these are sufficient overviews of the contributions of important women. VERDICT These suitable introductions to women of note will be useful in school and public library collections. Selectors should consider where more books are needed on these subjects.
