  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 08/01/2014 Gr 3–6—With their pink-infused covers, these titles that focus on women's contributions to various fields positively scream, "girl power." (Previous series books include Military, Sports, Business, and Entertainment.) The books each offer a history of women in the profession, as well as short profiles of various women (such as Regina Benjamin, the 18th U.S. surgeon general, and Jackie Lacey, the first female and African American to serve as the Los Angeles County district attorney). Readable text, with tons of quotes from a variety of women in different occupations, will appeal to readers, though the organization gives it limited use for reports or essays. - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
