Editorial Reviews

Using brief text, these biographies showcase the childhoods and public lives of first ladies. They manage to admirabley convey the essence of each figure. Large photographs and clear font make each volume accessible yet informative for even the youngest reader. As the chronological narrative progresses, the timeline found at the bottom of each page gradually lengthens. Beginning researchers will find a glossary, a short list of resources, and an index. Recommended.
