Sisters in Strength: American Women Who Made a Difference

48 pp. | Holt | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6102-9 $$17.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Malcah Zeldis. Featured in this collection are brief three-page biographies of eleven influential American women, including Harriet Tubman, Emily Dickinson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Helen Keller. Unfortunately, the garish, often grotesque folk-art portraits that accompany each piece bear almost no resemblance to their subjects, but the writing is personable and reader friendly, focused on the women's early lives. A time line is included. Bib.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
