The Amelia Bloomer Project of the American Library Association has chosen Women Making America to be in their top ten books of 2010. “The books [on the Amelia Bloomer list] show girls and women—past and present, real and fictional—breaking stereotypes to follow their dreams and pursue their goals, challenging cultural and familial stereotypes to gain an education, taking charge, and making plans for community, regional, national, and world change,’ says the Task Force. ‘We hope that these books inspire readers to make the world a better place for all.’”
The Amelia Bloomer Project creates an annual booklist of the best feminist books for young readers, ages birth through 18. They are part of the Feminist Task Force of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association. You can read more at http://ameliabloomer.wordpress.com/
