Political Leaders

Children's Literature - Beverly Kobrin

Barriers to professional jobs for women are crumbling; help clear away the rubble and open aspirational paths for girls you teach or come in contact with by introducing them to the "Women in Profile" series. This title features six politicians: Corazon Aquino, Benazir Bhutto, Indira Ghandi, Golda Meir, Eva Per=n, and Margaret Thatcher, plus brief profiles on seven more women political leaders. Each title consists of eye-catching portrait-covers, colorfully photo-illustrated, magazine-style biographies that contain sidebars with "Key Events" and "Backgrounder" columns and pertinent quotations. Readers easily overwhelmed by large blocks of type will be particularly attracted to this series, which includes Explorer, Writers, Scientists, Political Leaders, Musicians, and Nobel Prize Winners.
