New! The first in a series featuring prominent and 
   often under-recognized women from every state, the book

the profiled woman or her times.

·        An extensive timeline

·        Ideas for further reading and research

·        A glossary of unfamiliar words.

         The book is perfect for units on women’s studies,
   American history, biography, or just for fun. Each chapter
   has been extensively researched. A partial adult bibliography
   appears at the end of the book.  The complete research
   bibliography is available in downloadable PDF format from
   Apprentice Shop Books.

 

 

Reviews

  "This book is terrific. It is very kid and teacher friendly.
    The layout is exactly what a child needs.  The tidbits are
    definitely a plus. From a teacher's point of view it is
     superb."
