(4) 4-6 Women of Achievement series. The latest additions to this series of biographies will be useful mainly for those writing reports. Although each offers a detailed account of the subject's life, the writing is pedestrian and the photographs often dreary. Some of the books offer more substance due mainly to the subject herself (e.g., Toni Morrison). Each book contains a chronology. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Women of Achievement titles: Cher, Toni Morrison, Mother Teresa, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Estefan.]

The texts gloss over some aspects of the subjects' personal lives but capably explore their careers and professional accomplishments. Time lines are included. Bib., ind.
