Table of ContentsReviews"This title from the ""Inventions and Discovery"" series by Graphic Library brings us the story of Sarah Breedlove. Breedlove was a determined woman who went to great lengths to further herself in a time when most African-American women had few options open to them. Breedlove began selling hair products, and eventually formed her own company using her married name of Madam C.J. Walker. Her dedication and perseverance paid off, making Madam Walker the first self-made female millionaire of any race in the United States. As presented in this graphic format, the story of Walker and her company are still an inspirational story. This presentation manages to incorporate all the salient facts of Walker's story, while presenting her tale at a rapid pace. The illustrations are colorful, energetic, and help to move the story along nicely. Walker is quoted on a few pages, and those direct quotes are indicated by a yellow background. The quotes are referenced and identified as quotes from primary sources in an editor's note below the CIP. Also presented are a brief timeline, glossary, Internet sites through Facthound.com, a list of suggested readings, bibliography, and index. This is an excellent choice for reluctant readers or young readers interested in biography.-- ""Children's Literature Comprehensive Database""" This title from the Inventions and Discovery series by Graphic Library brings us the story of Sarah Breedlove.
