Text introduction includes a brief, cursory explanation of Harlem renaissance with strong focus on social history of women. The bulk of the work, however, consists of brief but well written biographies of five (often)lesser known but important women of the period. Includes period photos and ads. Includes a brief glossary, timeline, additonal facts, and websites list. Epilogue is clunky and seems like an afterthought--Bessie Coleman has nothing to do with Harlem. Still, a very good social history and collective biography for elementary aged children for school reports or general information. Very little exists on this topic for elementary aged children
