(4) 4-6 Thinking Girl's Treasury of Dastardly Dames series. Illustrated by Peter Malone. This short biography details the life of Njinga, a princess born into the Ndongo Kingdom of central West Africa in the sixteenth century who eventually became her tribe's first queen. The central narrative--organized meanderingly--is complemented by sidebars, photographs, and illustrations. This is a balanced portrayal that includes coverage on some touchy subjects, such as slavery, cannibalism, and infanticide. Bib.
