Lynne Cheney and Robin Preiss Glasser collaborated on America: A Patriotic Primer, which captured the imagination of American children and became a national best-seller. Now they turn their hands to A is for Abigail: An Almanac of Amazing American Women and bring the great women of American history to life. Filled to the brim with words and pictures that celebrate the remarkable (although often unmarked) achievements of American women, this is a book to relish and to read again and again.
To prepare your class for Women’s History Month in March, we’ve come up with a collection of great books that focus on women and girls who stand out as models of character, power, and skill. Written about female historical figures, as well as characters from folklore and fiction, these books will help you and your students celebrate women and their diverse accomplishments.
