Living Proof: What Helen Keller, Marilyn Monroe, and Marie Curie Have in Common.
Saul, E. Wendy
School Library Journal, v33 n2 p103-08 Oct 1986
Examines biographies of Marie Curie written for children and discusses two types of distortions: simple misrepresentations of fact and selective retelling of the past. It is concluded that biographies of minority or female success should deal specifically with strategies used by the hero or heroine to combat prejudice. (EM)
