Booklist Review

Books in the continuing Women of Achievement series offer dependable, standard biographies of women, with an emphasis on Americans, past and present. Each volume presents a well-considered portrayal of its subject in the text, supplemented with sidebars and illustrations (mainly photos, in color when available). Jane Addams traces Addams' life and considerable accomplishments in social welfare, labor reform, and women's suffrage. Slavicek vividly portrays Addams' difficult path to good education and her determination to use her life well. In each book, the back matter includes a chronology, notes for the many quotes, a source bibliography, and lists of recommended books and websites. Solid fare for the biography collection.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2010 Booklist
