Top Ten: Feminst Reads of 2019

This past year was a great one for feminist reads and I can't wait to read more this year.

Here were my favorites from the year

Picture Book Review: Miss Paul and the President

Alice Paul saw her father vote and wondered why she couldn't vote too! As she grew older, she fought to change the laws - going to the President himself to change the law.

I really loved this book; Alice Paul is so inspiring to me. She was determined against all costs. I loved the illustrations. I confess I didn't know about Margaret Wilson and I'm curious about her too. This story is a great introduction to Votes for Women and equal rights for women and  perfect for both school and public libraries.

Picture Book Review: She Persisted

13 American women who didn't give up and who conquered their dreams by not listening to the naysayers. 

A very sweet and inspiring story with amazing art work. I loved reading about this diverse group women and how they made their dreams come true. An important book in our world and one that should be in all libraries! 

And I wouldn't mind a few sequels.
