100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century, Ladies Home Journal and Kevin Markey
Description: The problem with proclaiming the 100 most important women is that everyone will disagree about who should be n the list! This is a book that includes both Phyllis Schafly and Gloria Steinem. Most of the women are from the U.S. but some important international women are included as well (Eva Péron, Golda Meir, Rigoberta Menchú among others). However, if you're looking for something full of color pictures and with brief (no more than a page each) descriptions of women as activists, scientists, writers, entrepreneurs, pioneers, athletes, and entertainers, then this will be a good book to have in your resource center.
