Reviews
Grade 3-6-These attractive titles each feature six women who have had an impact in their fields. Many names will be familiar but each book also includes some women who are less well known. The biographies, generally three to five pages in length, are divided into sections that discuss each woman's "Early Years," "Developing Skills," and "Accomplishments." Sidebars, "Key Events," "Quick Notes," and boxed quotes provide additional facts and background. Each book concludes with brief notes about the contributions of 13 to 15 other women. An abundance of appealing black-and-white and full-color photographs and occasional maps and drawings illustrate the text. Although these books do not include the detailed information found in the "American Profiles" series (Facts On File), they will be useful for short reports or to supplement other resources.

Taken from "Amelia Earhart, American Pilot" During the next few years, Amelia set several new records. In some cases, she was the first woman to do so. In other cases, she was the first person - man or woman. In 1935, Amelia was the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to the United States mainland. Each time Amelia set a record, she was leading the way for others. She was showing how quick and convenient air travel could become. She wanted to show that it was possible to fly all the way around the world.
