Welcome to Litsy!

“They all had the courage to take a stand, to change the rules, to take command.“ This shows the importance of the history women made.

I would use this in my classroom to discuss history and empowering woman.

Poetry - Published in 2018. This is a poem book about 14 women who changed history. The book captures the stories of each women and their unique stories. It is a good book to talk about history, poems, and making a difference when you are young.

She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton tell the tale of 13 American women who have made a difference around the world. This book uses real life stories to introduce young children to women who have continued to break barriers. This book helps to empower females to step out of the box and create the change they wanna see in the world.

Malala: Activist for Girls Education by Raphaële Frier is a childrens book biography that was published in 2015. This book is a Mildred Batchelder Award Book winner. It is about a woman named Malala who stood up to the taliban at 15 years old and got shot. She wanted to fight for womens right for education and became such an amazing influence on other women. This would be a great book to read in any classroom and it has such a powerful message.

She blazed a path, it's true, yet women weren't hired here 'til 1982!

Often times in history women get looked over and are not given the recognition they deserve. This book can be used not only to educate students on a few women who impacted the world, but can be used to spark research on other women who changed the world.

Poem's about 14 women who shaped history and changed the world even in the face of discrimination and adversity. Each poem has a unique art style to highlight the woman it is talking about. This book would be a great way to expose students to just a few of the prominent women that have made an impact on the world.

You can tell that a lot of the information comes from Malala's autobiography, however there is information about the Taliban, Islam, and Pakistan that influenced Malala and her story.

One thing I need to point out is how sad that some Pakistani say that Malala has betrayed her native land by leaving. The book mentions how a school didn't want to be named after Malala. #Pakistan #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks
