Product Description Stop the Hurting Mary Pipher's bestselling Reviving Ophelia triggered widespread interest in the culture of preteen and teenage girls and the seeming epidemic of relational aggression (bullying) among them. Gossip, teasing, forming cliques, and other cruel behaviors are the basis of this bullying, which harms both victim and aggressor. Until now, no one has been able to offer practical and effective solutions that stop girls from hurting each other with words and actions. But in Girl Wars, two experts explain not only how to prevent such behavior but also how to intervene should it happen, as well as overcome the culture that breeds it. Illustrated by compelling true stories from mothers and girls, the authors offer effective, easy-to-implement strategies that range from preventive to prescriptive, such as how to * Adopt a "help, don't hurt" strategy * Provide positive role models * Teach communication skills online and off * Stress assertiveness, not aggressiveness...

From Library Journal Noted scientist and conservationist Goodall provides listeners with stories about her life and her experiences studying chimpanzees in Africa. She talks about her first exposure to animals at a farm near her home and how the book Dr. Doolittle helped crystallize her desire. Later Goodall comments on her first trip to the continent and how meeting Dr. Louis Leakey led to her life's work, living among the animals, learning their behaviors, and bringing that information to the rest of the world. Though this tape starts out as an autobiography, it focuses mostly on the work of the Goodall Institute and "Roots and Shoots," organizations created to encourage the protection of animals and their habitats. The author reads her own tale and seems sort of detached even when discussing her interest in saving the world's animals. The book also lacks depth, glossing over Goodall's life and telling her story simply, which could make this tedious listening for adults. For public... See less

Amazon.com Review Soldiers, scientists, performers, writers, entrepreneurs, politicians, quilt makers, pilots... as author Lynne Cheney writes, "America’s amazing women have much to teach our children--and much inspiration to offer us, as well." Coming on the heels of America: A Patriotic Primer (Cheney’s previous collaboration with illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser), A Is for Abigail celebrates the achievements of women in American history, with a special emphasis on the individuals who helped win equal rights for women. As with America, Cheney uses an alphabet book format to introduce hundreds of remarkable real women: "O is for SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR and others who were first." In addition to the first woman Supreme Court Justice, the "O" page includes Wilma Mankiller, first woman chief of the Cherokee Nation; Jeannette Rankin, first female member of Congress; and Nellie Tayloe Ross, first woman governor. Glasser’s playful illustrations are lively and busy, inviting readers to explore... See less

From School Library Journal Grade 4-7-The focus here is on American feminists from the pre-Revolutionary War period to the present. Following in loose chronological order, the book opens with Ann Lee, the "Mother of the American Shakers" (1736-1784), and ends with government reformer Doris Haddock (born 1910). Each of the 20 profiles is handled uniformly over spreads packed with more information than is immediately apparent. About half of the women will be familiar to students. Some (Frances Wright, Mary Edwards Walker, Mary E. Lease) will be new. Each chapter has a portrait of the subject, a quote by that person, and important dates. Four time lines cover abolition, women's, labor, and civil rights movements. One poignant spread shows women carrying a banner that reads "August 18, 1920," the day women got the vote. Cartoon-style action shots illustrate the text, and colorful borders and adequate white space add to the appeal. Appended sections include places to visit as well as civil... See less

From School Library Journal Grade 5 Up. Leon has a unique talent for making the politics, wars, religious practices, and educational ideals of ancient civilizations understandable and interesting to modern young people. She says of a widely celebrated ancient celebrity, "Her merchandising would have made Michael Jordan jealous." Discussing grooming and style in the Middle East in 800 B.C., the author reports, "No bad hair days in old Assyria." This casual tone does not compromise the splendor and import of the subject matter, however. Outrageous subjects include warriors, philosophers, empresses, artists, and professional poisoners, among others. They lived from 2300 B.C. to A.D. 200 in Asia, Europe, and Africa. Readers will enjoy their exciting stories and may be surprised and pleased to learn how much is known about people who lived so long ago.

Product Description Fabulous true stories of the most amazing women in history. They were cool and courageous, self-reliant and sharp-witted, daring and determined. They were the exciting, inspiring, and totally Outrageous Women of the Renaissance. These remarkable women forged their own paths, made their own rules—and rocked the world! Among the outrageous women you'll meet are: * Joan of Arc—the bold warrior who at age 17 became commander-in-chief of the French army and led her country's charge against the invading English. * Elisabetta Sirani—the lightning-quick painter who opened an all-female art school and became an international sensation. * Grace O'Malley—the mother of three who ruled the high seas as Ireland's pirate queen and freedom fighter. * Christina of Sweden—the eccentric Swedish monarch who awakened her country to the wonders of Renaissance art, science, and literature. * Gracia Mendes Nasi—the Spanish humanitarian and philanthropist whose "underground railroad" saved...

From Booklist Gr. 3-6. Not all the women fit the profile of this series, which includes Outrageous Women of Colonial America (2001) and Outrageous Women of the American Frontier (2002). Some of their contemporaries might have considered Amelia Bloomer or confederate spy Belle Boyd outrageous, but first ladies Mary Todd Lincoln and Varina Davis, wife of Jefferson Davis, less so. Still, stretching the word "outrageous," the book provides good summaries of the lives and accomplishments of significant women of the period--among them, Louisa May Alcott, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Clara Barton, and Loreta Janeta Velazquez. The many, sometimes lengthy, sidebars introduce other exceptional women and discuss topics such as the Temperance movement, mill girls, and phrenology.

Product Description Incredible true stories of the most amazing women in American history They were courageous, resourceful pioneers, enduring and adventurous. They made arduous journeys, carved careers out of the wilderness, defied conventions, and fought for their freedom. They were community leaders, artists, and entrepreneurs. These Outrageous Women of the American Frontier boldly faced the gritty realities of daily life–everything from starvation to shootouts–and made their mark in history! Among the outrageous women youll meet are: * Charlie Parkhurst–who disguised herself as a man, drove a stagecoach for twenty years, and was probably the first American woman to vote * Bridget "Biddy" Mason–a former slave who gained her freedom in the 1850s and made enough money to set up several homes for the homeless, sick, and old * Gertrudis Barcelo–Santa Fes "Gambling Queen" who kept her maiden name, owned her own casino, and helped the United States win the Mexican-American War * Libbie...

From Booklist Gr. 3-6. From the Outrageous Women series, this volume presents 14 notable figures from colonial America. The first section on New England includes famous names such as Ann Hutchinson, Deborah Samson, Elizabeth "Mumbet" Freeman, Abigail Adams, and Phillis Wheatley. The sections on the middle colonies and the South focus primarily on lesser-known women in American history. Furbee makes some interesting choices. For instance, Betsy Ross is included not as the maker of the first American flag, a claim that the author notes is debatable, but as a woman who "plotted her own course in life, founded a new religious group, survived three husbands, and built a thriving family business." The decidedly colorful tone of the writing ("Anne really got the Puritans' knickers in a twist") makes the series a bit more lively than most history books. The black-and-white illustrations include maps and simple line drawings as well as reproductions of period paintings and engravings. An... See less

I usually have to push myself to read anything other than fiction or memoir, so I was surprised to find myself so happily immersed in this book. The author's style is entertaining and easy to read. She covers a lot of ground here--from women's everyday chores and family life, to women who participated in the revolutionary conflict by supporting either the American revolutionaries or the British. She provides many interesting facts and details from different women's lives, including rich and poor women; black, white, and Native American women. The author's descriptions of the hard work and long days of the women of this period make me think twice when I hear people say how "time-starved" women are today. Great food for thought!

Product Description Recently awarded the 2001 Van City Book Prize, this book proves how the west was really won - through the strength and determination of women. From the Publisher Lillian Alling couldn't bear to live in New York any longer, but she couldn't save the fare home to Russia either. So she decided to walk home via the United States, British Columbia, Alaska, and Siberia. Nothing could stop her—not the enormous distance, not the dangers, not even a jail term. Lillian's is just one of the compelling stories in Rosemary Neering's look at the history of the West from a woman's perspective. Wild West Women features women from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, such as madams who came to mine the miners, prospectors who were still checking on their claims when they were in their eighties, and writers who first feared and then loved the wilderness. Emily Carr, Frances Macnab, Agnes Deans Cameron, and Ma Murray are just some of the independent and determined women... See less

Ignoring derision and the likelihood of failure, Ann Bancroft became the first woman known to sled to the North Pole and later crossed Antarctica with an all-female team.

Amazon.com Review Never mind the accomplishments of American women in the Gulf War, of Nicaraguan women in the Sandinista revolt, of Vietnamese women in countless wars: fighting, many continue to believe, is the province of men. Setting aside the question of whether war is desirable no matter who fights it, anthropologist David Jones takes a look at women warriors throughout world history. He turns up well-known examples like Joan of Arc and Molly Pitcher; better, he looks at the contributions of lesser- known fighters from ancient Scandinavia and Africa on down to the present. Throughout Jones has a keen eye for (sometimes gruesome) detail, and he leaves you feeling glad you don't have to scrap with any of his many fearsome heroines. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description What can be done to stop the declining numbers of women in law enforcement? If information is power, then Women Police: Portraits of Success could well reverse that trend.

Product Description More than half of the graphic designers in the U.S. are women, yet they are less likely to be invited to speak at conferences or to offer expert opinions to the media. Their award-winning work is seen everywhere, but with few exceptions, they are not celebrated in the same way as their male counterparts.

She describes the lives and careers of over 50 reporters, publishers, humorists, columnists, photographers, and television journalists. Chapters are short but full of useful information and are accompanied by large black-and-white photos. Because these women's chosen field intersects with so many other subjects, students learn about American and world history, politics, and culture as they read these short biographies. They are good reads, often including tales of daring and triumph over long odds. Foreign correspondent Sigrid Lillian Schultz revealed and foiled Nazi plots. Charlayne Hunter-Gault fought segregation laws to obtain her journalism degree and subsequently won two Emmy Awards. An appendix gives sketches of an additional 64 journalists. A list of organizations and Internet sites related to women, history, and... See less
