Grade 5-9–The authors of these serials are prominent in the narratives, appearing to comment on the production of each book and their feelings about the purpose of their enterprise: to wit, that each of these women is and should be an inspiration to others, having engaged in laudable public service. The series goal is to present the facts about women who, because of their involvement in politics, have been the center of controversial media attention that may have obscured that which is accurate from that which is accusation. Each issue ends with a list of source and reference material. The artwork for the American politicians is serviceable, if a little cartoony, whereas
Princess Diana has strong indications of computer-based photo filtering. The content is dated. For example, Ms. Clinton has not been appointed Secretary of State, nor has President Obama won the 2008 election by the end of
Michelle Obama.
Obama is the choppiest, with the authorial voice the least sure about how to frame the subject's influence and accomplishments. All of these issues are also available in one trade paperback volume,
Female Force, vol. 1 (Bluewater Comics, 2009).
