5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended - easy read, interesting and informative,
This review is from: Gloria Steinem: Champion of Women's Rights (Signature Lives) (Library Binding)
While there are a lot of books for kids about bunnies, Nancy Garhan Attebury's biography of Gloria Steinem - Gloria Steinem Champion of Women's Rights - opens with a bunny of the Playboy variety."Gloria Steinem pulled on her thin black tights, scratchy orange costume with the fluffy bunny tail, matching shoes and bunny ears..." is one of the best first lines I have ever read. It is certain to draw in the author's intended audience. The biography of the most renowned American feminist takes us deep inside Steinem's private life and personal battles. From being mother to her own mom to dealing with abortion and later in life, cancer, the author gives us a feel for the person of Gloria Steinem, not the legend of the outspoken siren of women's rights. By book's end, the reader knows and respects Steinem, whether they agree with her beliefs or not. Though authors have little to do with the book design, I also want to mention this book is very well formatted. It is peppered with interesting historical and recent photos. The page design is very attractive to the eye and the text is nicely laid out and easy to read - not too crowded like many biographies for kids. The author included lots of interesting related sidebars that are set off in bordered shaded areas on the pages throughout the book. - Robin Koontz, author/illustrator |
