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.

Fabulous woman empowerment story that has its roots in history. The author's note in the back will give background to the actuall Amelia Bloomer for anyone unfamiliar. Elizabeth Cady Stanton even makes an appearance in the story. The illustrations are fabulous. I think most young girls will enjoy this story.

I used to read this book all the time as a kid and I randomly purchased it after thinking about it again. It was definitely a good boost of serotonin and nostalgia. Such a wholesome story and a really good message for kids. I adore this book.
