Editorial Reviews

Women keep making history: in politics, media, sports, and the arts. This updated classic in the Scholastic Encyclopedia line is now available in paperback for the first time. This is a comprehensive, chronological look at women's great contributions to our national culture from Abigail Adams to Christie Todd Whitman. More than 250 biographies are arranged in six chronological chapters from the 1500s to today. New biographical entries and photos of key figures like Madeline Albright, Ellen Ochoa, Marion Jones and Amy Tan join updated entires for movers and shakers from Hillary Clinton to Oprah Winfrey.

Anne Bradstreet, Pocahontas, Lucretia Mott, Nellie Bly, Isadora Duncan, Amelia Earhart, Dr. Karen Horney, Marilyn Monroe, Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Rodham Clinton... these are women who, over the last 400 years, have helped shape the United States. Packed with intriguing photos and illustrations, this big, glorious volume chronicles and celebrates the lives and achievements of more than 250 American women for the benefit of tomorrow's history-makers. Six different time periods form the framework for the biographies and "Cameos" (more succinct bios of notable women), which are alphabetically arranged. Various sidebars appear in red in the side columns throughout, providing quotations and further insights into some of the issues raised in the biographical entries. A topical index allows readers to search for women in a particular field or category (abolitionists, scientists, Olympic medal winners, astronauts, African American women, politicians, spies, inventors, singers, etc.), and there's also an alphabetical index, which can be used to find particular women, places, events, and topics. Icons to the left of each name identify the women as fitting in one of 10 broad subject areas, including religion, media, military, sciences/math, sports, etc. Just browsing through this encyclopedia will make young readers feel proud of the incredible contributions the "weaker sex" has made--and continues to make--to the world. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter
