Competent overview

[Marné Hawkes Skelton Yates]

This was a good, simple overview. Good place to start if you're looking for a beginning on the subject

[Cindy]

Lots of great info in a very condensed format.

[Stacy Croushorn]

The material is good, but the kids find the writing style boring.

I had this book as a girl, the early start to my feminism. ;)
