She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World by Chelsea Clinton
4.0
This is a good intro to biography texts for young students. Each woman featured gets a brief paragraph highlighting her accomplishment. I was under the impression that it was for older readers, so at first I was disappointed in the brevity of the text. However, the variety of women featured was admirable; there were several that I did not know. What really won my admiration we’re the illustrations.
Often, simple books of this type will include additional biographical information at the end, or links for additional information. I really wish this was part of the text. I read this for myself, but think that reading it with children would lead to additional questions about these amazing women’s lives. I’d like to know more about each (and yes, I can do this research myself, but it’s nice when authors share their sources for teachers).
