You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer!

40 pp. | Scholastic | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-439-07819-9 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Chesley McLaren. Women's rights activist Amelia Bloomer lampoons the restrictive costume considered proper in nineteenth-century America. When Elizabeth Cady Stanton's cousin Libby shows up in pantaloons, Bloomer adopts the outfit, to women's cheers and men's gasps. A gossipy, well-paced narration and freewheeling, stylish watercolor illustrations complement the story. An author's note is appended.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
