Goodreads

Elizabeth MacLeod presents biographies of more than one hundred remarkable women. Some are famous, such as Margaret Atwood and Joni Mitchell, but most are lesser known. About 50 women are featured with a realistic portrait and brief biography. These highlight important dates, early influences, and struggles as well as contributions to the advancement of society. While an additional 50-plus more are recognized with a smaller portrait and brief description placed after the discussion guide and before the biography and index. I am not sure how she decided whom to feature where. A place to start but students will need to do additional research if they want a more detailed account. I am probably not the best person to review this book as I am not a fan of collected biographies.
