Coretta Scott King: I Kept On Marching

(4) 4-6 Women Who Broke the Rules series. Illustrated by Laura Freeman. Lincoln and King, often historically secondary to their more-famous husbands, take the lead in these biographies. Accompanied by cartoony illustrations, these portrayals waver unevenly between illuminating (King had "obey" removed from her wedding vows) and unflattering ("Mary was always nagging...and bragging") as they candidly address controversies surrounding the influential women. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers the following Women Who Broke the Rules titles Coretta Scott King and Mary Todd Lincoln.
