Elizabeth Dole : A Leader in Washington (Gateway Biographies)

Gr 3-6--Although this biography will be used mainly for reports, the text reads like a story. Children discover both the public and private personae of one of America's best-known women. The text, accompanied by mostly full-color photographs, gives readers up-to-date information on Dole's many accomplishments and defeats. Carolyn Mulford's Elizabeth Dole (Enslow, 1992; o.p.) covers the same material but goes more in-depth. However, it was written prior to the 1996 presidential election and, therefore, does not include the crucial role that Dole played in her husband's campaign. A welcome addition, especially during Women's History Month.Barb Lawler, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PACopyright 1998 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
