of Women's History Month!
From a shy and fearful child, Eleanor Roosevelt grew up to be not only First Lady of the
United States, but one of the most influential women in U.S. history. Hers is a
remarkable story of doing the thing you think you cannot do in order to work for
change and to better the lives of others. Come learn about Eleanor, who challenges
everyone - no matter his or her talents or gifts - to live a useful and fulfilling life.
Malala Yousafzai's describes her fight for education for girls under Taliban
rule, the support she received from her parents to pursue an education, and
how the Taliban retaliated against her by trying to kill her.

"Explores the extraordinary life and scientific discoveries of Maria Merian,
who discovered the truth about metamorphosis and documented the science
behind the mystery in this visual biography that features many original
paintings by Maria herself."-- Provided by publisher.
Hidden Figures interweaves a history of scientific achievement and
technological innovation with the intimate stories of five women whose
work forever changed the world--and whose lives show how out of one of
America's most painful histories came one of its proudest moments.
The story of Virginia Hall, "an ordinary woman from Baltimore, Maryland,"
who worked as an undercover agent for Britain and the United States
during World War II. "Virginia cleverly evaded discovery and death, often
through bold feats and daring escapes. Her covert operations, efforts with
the Resistance, and risky work as a wireless telegraph operator greatly
contributed to the Allies' eventual win"-- Provided by publisher.
Chronicles the life and career of mathematician Ada Byron Lovelace.
In 1917, Jeanette Rankin declared, "I may be the first woman member of
Congress, but I won't be the last." Here are the stories of women who followed
in her footsteps to U.S. elected office.
From NPR correspondent Keith O' Brien comes this thrilling Young Readers'
edition of the untold story about pioneering women, including Amelia Earhart,
who fought to compete against men in the high-stakes national air races of the
1920s and 1930s--and won.
"The U.S. may have put the first man on the moon, but it was the Soviet
space program that made Valentina Tereshkova the first woman in
space. It took years to catch up, but soon NASA's first female astronauts
were racing past milestones of their own. The trail-blazing women of
Group 9, NASA's first mixed gender class, had the challenging task of
convincing the powers that be that a woman's place is in space, but they
discovered that NASA had plenty to learn about how to make space
travel possible for everyone"--From the publisher's web site.
"Macy offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the journey of women's
rights through the lens of women in sports during the pivotal decade of the
1920s. With elegant prose, poignant wit, and fascinating primary sources,
Macy explores the many hurdles presented to female athletes as they
stormed the field, stepped up to bat, and won the right to compete in
sports. Featuring bold and talented heroines, this book documents how the
social issues and morals of the decade--from politics to segregation to the
media--helped shape the changing narratives around women and alter the
course of history entirely. It is a fascinating window into a rich and seldom
explored history, and also a topical reminder of the many discussions
surrounding femininity and the role of women that continue today"--
