Women's Firsts provides the stories of women pioneers in all fields of endeavor — arts, entertainment, business, civil rights, education, government, journalism, religion, science, sports and more. Spanning ancient times to the present, with special emphasis on the 19th and 20th centuries, Women's Firsts is conveniently arranged into 10 subject chapters that cover the spectrum of women's issues and history, ranging from activism to education, from the media to sports.
Also included are 120 portraits and illustrations of key individuals and events; a chronology that organizes milestones by year; and additional sources for further study and more.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Each entry lists brief citations to one or more sources for further information, primarily standard reference works with lengthier treatments, and also biographies and autobiographies of the woman in question. There is no separate bibliography. A standard name and subject index is also included, as well as a broad time line of events. However, this work does not include the day-by-day and annual indexes featured in the parent work. The typeface is larger and there are many illustrations, some repeated and some new.
The work is appropriate for middle-school-level or children's collections in public libraries. High schools will probably want the Gale version if it has not already been acquired.
