I was first introduced to this series at Kid Lit Frenzy in June when Alyson shared these four biographies with us (along with an informative Q&A and a fun quiz), and as soon as I read her posts, I knew I had to get my hands on them. I am a huge fan of well-done biographies because I think they are an essential part of spreading history into a new generation’s memory. I am an even bigger fan of well-done biographies of strong women. While there has been a good chunk of biographical picture books lately about women, I am very happy to see that students will have longer biographies to explore strong women from history. I also really like that Krull’s series has a mix of contemporary and historical figures and is filled with diversity. Next Krull will be sharing Coretta Scott King and Mary Todd Lincoln’s life.

The first book in a new series "Women Who Broke the Rules" by Kathleen Krull - this one focuses on Sonia Sotomayor. Since I had an advanced copy, the book appears to be planned for heavier paper and colored illustrations. The text draws in readers and I found myself interested in learning about Sonia Sotomayor and learning more about her through other books.

I was interested to check out this new series focusing on famous women and found this book to be a fine biography, but nothing super special. Full color illustrations up the appeal, but I'm still not sure this is a series that will capture browsers. As research material, I found myself wanting a time line and a photo of Sotomayor.

Fun, breezy tone. I learned a lot about Dolley Madison. She was a force to be reckoned with at a time when women didn't have much of a voice.
