More Spice than Sugar: Poems about Feisty Females

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ann Boyajian. In three sections, forty-five poems celebrate spicy girls and women: those who ignore gender stereotypes; athletes, famous and not; and historical figures. The selections (by such poets as Nikki Giovanni, X. J. Kennedy, and Alice Walker) vary in style and tone; accompanying pencil sketches mirror the range of attitudes expressed. Appended notes provide information on the well-known women honored here.
