Series: Women Who Broke the Rules

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Goodreads | Amazon
A new series complete with full-color illustrations that celebrates amazing women, from acclaimed author Kathleen Krull!

In the vein of the popular Who Was? series and Jean Fritz's much-beloved biographies, Women Who Broke the Rules celebrates the bold and brave women who have forged their own paths - breaking rules along the way - to help shape our country's past, present, and future.

Judy Blume wrote her way through controversy and censorship to become a pioneer who helped make it okay for kids and teens to discuss their everyday concerns, including the kinds of things people don't always like to talk about. Now more than forty years into her career of writing frank and funny books, Judy still has the amazing ability to connect with young readers and adults.

Sacajawea forged such a path when she made one of the most remarkable journeys in American history. At age sixteen, she traveled over four thousand miles by foot, canoe, and horse - all while carrying a baby on her back! Without her, the Lewis and Clark expedition might have failed. Two hundred years later, we still can see how her unique journey demonstrated the strength and value of women.
