Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Her Way
Mary-Ellen Siegel · 1984
42/100
👎 Skip It
A 1984 bibliography of women's biographies was a meaningful contribution in its time, and the ALA imprint signals genuine professional credibility, but nearly everything in it has been superseded by four decades of new publishing and free online databases. This is a historical artifact of library science more than a book anyone should buy or borrow today.
