I really enjoyed reading this book. I would use this book to teach a unit on historic women in a 4th-5th history grade classroom. It is an easy read and gives information on 26 different women who made history. Students can use this as a source to write biographies over historic women or use it for an independent reading assignment. ( )

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting and joyous to read about the impact a plethora of women have had on the world. Within this book, there were many people I knew about and many I had no clue about. So, because of that I gained a lot of knowledge by reading this alphabet book. I was pleased to see the author find a woman for each letter in the alphabet. Also, I really liked that there were quotes from each woman in the book. ( )

This short selection I read of Eleanor Roosevelt in a collection biography book included less details in some places as my other biography of Eleanor, but it also included more details in other areas. It does not go into much detail about her early life at home, such as her mean mother and loving father, but it includes much more about her life after marrying Franklin Roosevelt. I enjoyed learning about her career running an all-girl's school, her motherhood to five children, and her work with the Red Cross. ( )

Cynthia Chin-Lee managed to write several biographies about twenty-six women all in one children's book.The book briefly speaks about each woman's life along with their achievements and struggles. What's neat about it is that she orders these women's biographies from A-Z, meaning that the first letter of each woman's first name corresponds to a specific letter in the alphabet. ( )

This book is about 26 women who had made a difference in the world in alphabetical order. The most interesting to me out of them are Frida Kahlo and Patricia Schroeder. I like Frida Kahlo because she was strong and though she had health issues, she didn’t let that stop her, yet she pushed through. Frida was a painter and folklorist, she was well known for her great art that displayed her humor and imagination. While I liked Patricia Schroeder because though she had kids and was a wife, which did not stop her from being a congresswoman. She enjoyed law but didn’t think they would elected a woman to Congress, and when chose she took the house by surprise. Pat served 12 terms and congresswoman, and during those terms, she championed laws to benefit women and families. I enjoyed this book because it gave a view of many influential women in the world that I either never heard of or didn’t know how much of a difference they made. ( )
