I dont know what her thoughts would have been but according to the book it has the support of her family
Hamevaser has millions of copies in distribution? Wow!
The book is more prominent and is meant to last a while to be reread over and over.
The tachlis of A newspaper printiing a picture or Rebbetzin KAnievsky would be identical to A biography.
As far as the level Torah audience, I never farhered nor took a survey of hamevaser’s readership vs Artscrol biography’s So I simply dont know. Though Im not sure how that factors in. Does a higher Torah-level audience make you more or less susceptible to pictures?
