Cute pictures, cute story. Had to explain to my children that girls used to not be "allowed" to wear pants. Ha! Good feminist picture book.

Good preliminary book to show a child women's rights movement. More on fashion than voting, but that's an okay thing at first, since kids have to get dressed but voting is a just a concept.

A wonderful brief introduction to Amelia Bloomer, a women's rights activist and the namesake of bloomers. I can't wait to use this for Women's History Month!

Feminist picture books? Sign me up. Anytime I can make Lil Girl think that being a girl doesn't necessarily mean dressing up like a princess all the time, it is much appreciated. Bright illustrations and a not too preachy story make this a great pick.

I loved this book as a child and checked it out from the library too many times to count! I loved the message and learning about fashion history. It’s probably part of why I am passionate about that subject now. Will always be a 10/10 for me.

It's a book about suffrage for little girls... need I say more. It is QUITE fantastic. I think this book is important because it illustrates the principle that people who create change don't play by society's rules. This book touches on themes that view women as innovators, educators, friends, entrepreneurs, and social activists. Interestingly and touchingly, the main character's husband is a catalyst for her advances. This is a book that celebrates collaboration. Among other things, it teaches us the importance of relationships when in pursuit of a goal.
