20 Women Who Made A Difference

BY CHERYL HARNESS

Brief Description:
"This wonderful resource offers numerous opportunities for tie-ins with a unit on women's history and the middle-grade social studies curriculum in general. Twenty two-page biographies of familiar (Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt) and not-so-familiar (Ann Lee, Mary E. Lease) women are interspersed with time lines on the abolition, women's, labor, and civil rights movements. Harness writes with ease about her strong-willed subjects, and she has decorated her stories with a striking sepia-toned oval portrait of each woman, as well as highly detailed full-color scenes that reflect the time periods." -Booklist
