Series Review: Great Women of Achievement"These narratives will inspire young girls to be themselves, to reach for the stars, and never to give up, no matter what. The reading level is simple enough for upper elementary, and the writing style encourages reading aloud. ... The content is sufficiently in-depth to get a student started on a research paper at the upper grades, and to serve as a strong basis for a student at a lower grade level. The coverage is international and throughout time, selecting women whose names are known in different areas and cultures ... RECOMMENDED."
