Feminist Voices series.
This biography of the author of The Feminine Mystique begins with Friedan's unhappy childhood and follows her increasing radicalization through college and adulthood. Readers will need a good amount of background to understand the brief descriptions of communism, socialism, and feminism. Bohannon sometimes overgeneralizes as she covers so much history in relatively few pages. Timeline, websites. Bib., ind.

Feminist Voices series.
This biography of the great women's suffrage organizer, campaigner, and speaker is replete with information though written without flair. Paragraph-long excerpts of Catt's words are meant to convey what we are told is her charisma. Nevertheless, the text is thorough and informative. Included are black-and-white photos of Catt, her family, and key players in the battle for women's suffrage. Bib., ind.
