What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book does not contain sensitive topics. It is a positive and straightforward biography. Challenges are presented in the form of societal doubt about her methods and her qualifications (as a woman without a degree), but these are overcome with perseverance. The approach is secular and the resolution is entirely hopeful and celebratory.
