Negative Positive
Title: Great, hard-to-find information
Review: I like this book very much. It could be read by a bright 6th grader and is definitely readable by middle-schoolers but there is no talking down in it and I would recommend it to adults. It talks about 10 women scientists, all of whom are (or were) US citizens. Three are Asian American, one is African American and the rest are white. Naturally, I would have liked to have seen at least one Native American and Latina included. Perhaps the author will write a sequel. Within those limitations though, its a good and useful book. Each bio has at least one portrait-type photo and at least one additional illustration or photo. The illustrations are informative and enlightening. The bios are interesting and each has a life chronology of important events and suggestions for further reading at the end. A great reference.
