Recommended.
Reference Reviews  
Gale Group  


A good basic reference source, recommended for general
readers.
Choice  

...Salem's American First Ladies is the most attractive of the four titles, leavening its text with sidebars and more and larger illustrations. Other pluses are the topical essays and Salem's usual uniform approach to organizing content....High-school and public libraries should consider the accessible Salem publication.
Booklist  

High school and beginning college students will appreciate its structured format, use of sidebars, numerous photographs, and relatively short essays.
American Reference Books  
Annual  


An appealing, easy-to-use source directed toward high school or undergraduate students and those beginning more extensive
research.
Choice  

...a useful and interesting addition to the reference collection in the high school media center, the public library, and the academic library.
