About the Author:

Mary Englar is an author for Compass Point Books.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 6-9–Despite an attractive format with plentiful full-color and black-and-white photos, these biographies are bland. They do an adequate job of covering the facts, but there's no life to the women's stories, no spark or flair to the writing. The authors place far more emphasis on actions than on personality and motivations. Catherine is the weakest title; it's a struggle to grasp who she really was, or to care about her (and how did she occupy herself in between historical happenings?). This book also has the largest number of footnoting issues (punctuation, capitalization, missing words, citations to the wrong book/page, etc.). Bhutto and Noor are the best of the bunch. All of the titles have minor errors and omissions and sometimes awkward writing. They do include maps (highly abbreviated), glossaries, time lines, and lists for further reading. A case could be made for adding Bhutto and Noor; it is harder to justify Catherine or Per�n.–Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
