Series Review: Great Women of Achievement "These narratives will inspire
young girls to be themselves, to reach for the stars, and never to give up, no
matter what. The reading level is simple enough for upper elementary, and the
writing style encourages reading aloud. ... The content is sufficiently in-depth
to get a student started on a research paper at the upper grades, and to serve
as a strong basis for a student at a lower grade level. The coverage is
international and throughout time, selecting women whose names are known in
different areas and cultures ... RECOMMENDED." --Library Media Connection
Book review:
Women Leaders Who Changed the World
"A diverse
selection of 11 women who changed their part of the world. ... The women were/are
not the typical world leaders we are most familiar with, so this book was a
pleasant change to learn a little about the women who may have 'flown under the
radar'. Reading the short chapter may lead one to learn more about the
respective woman - many book recommendations follow. Educational and
enlightening read."
