Women’s History Month

My new Focus on STEM column, Women’s History Month, is in the March Quick Tips for Schools and Libraries newsletter.

Snippet: March is Women’s History Month. That’s a well-known fact. But did you know that March is also Expanding Girls’ Horizons in Science and Engineering Month? Item #3 on the “How to Observe Expanding Girls’ Horizons in Science and Engineering Month” list is “Share the stories of important women in the STEM field.” You can do that with these six picture book biographies for younger readers and three middle grade biographies for older readers.

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

Troublemakers in Trousers

Troublemakers in Trousers: Women and What They Wore to Get Things Done

Booktalk: Meet twenty-one women throughout history who broke fashion and norms to do something groundbreaking in this middle-grade collection that celebrates trailblazers and troublemakers.

Snippet: In ancient and medieval times, men did not wear pants. They wore dress-like attire. Go ahead and call it a tunic, toga, loincloth, chiton, kilt, sarong, or robes. Whatever. Men did not wear pants. (In many countries today, men still don’t.)
