Madam President: The Extraordinary, True (and Evolving) Story of Women in Politics

80 pp. | Houghton | August, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-618-39666-7 $17.00
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Douglas B. Jones. Concise profiles of dynamic first ladies (Eleanor Roosevelt; Hillary Clinton), pioneering feminists (Susan B. Anthony), and world leaders (Margaret Thatcher; Benazir Bhutto) are accompanied by color illustrations that don't always bear much resemblance to the subject. A framing device in which others try to dissuade a young girl with presidential aspirations ("Well, maybe you could marry a president...") seems silly and dated. Timeline. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
