This book was wonderful! It contains very interesting facts about the earliest women in America. The book starts with Pocahontas and goes all the way to Maya Lynn. It contains over one hundred women,just in the United States! They came from less prvileged homes to First Ladies. This book has little sidebars that have facts about women or things that happened in that time. I think this is a great book.

Incredibly fascinating and so informative! Every American female should read this to gain appreciation for those that have given her the rights and opportunities she now has!

This is a great encyclopedia of American women. I sat down and read the whole book so I can tell you it is very comprehensive and very well written. This is a great addition to any public or school library as well as any classroom library in a middle school or high school. A great resource.

The way you want to utilize this book depends how you read this. I discovered this book while researching a remarkable woman by the name of Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. This book was great at hitting all the major things she has done, but was weak in details. You could use this book in many ways but for basic information on a female would be the best apporach. Don't sit down with this looking for a good read though because all this is is information, unless you like that. So when you research remember this book for basic information on a female.
