I wanted to mention that I have written a book on this subject. Remembering the Ladies: From Patriots in Petticoats to Presidential Candidates tells the story of the struggle for women’s rights through coloring pages and lively profiles of 69 courageous & tenacious women: founding mothers, abolitionists, suffragists, feminists, labor and civil rights leaders and pioneering female politicians.

Each two page spread includes a full page bio, fascinating fact and quotation, recommendations for further reading, suggestions for activities and activism and places to visit. It is also inclusive and diverse profiling many unsung heroines who worked to “right women’s wrongs” in our nation’s history. 1/3 of the women are women of color and 36 different artists created the images.

Keep up the recommendations -- I'm using these new lists to update my women's history month storytimes for next week.

I'm glad you approve! 🙂 And we quite enjoyed your book. I learned a lot, too!

Hmm, I think most of them are best for ages 5 and up.
