Eleanor Roosevelt, Fighter for Justice shows young readers how the
former First Lady evolved from a poor little rich girl to a
protector and advocate for those without a voice. Though now seen
as a cultural icon, she was a woman deeply insecure about her looks
and her role in the world. But by recognizing her fears and
constantly striving to overcome her prejudices, she used her
proximity to presidents and her own power to aid in the fight for
Civil Rights and other important causes. This biography gives
readers a fresh perspective on her extraordinary life. It includes
a timeline, biography, index, and many historic photographs.
An inspiring history of all the women who have taken a seat in
Congress!  For the first 128 years of America’s history,
only men served in the Senate and House of Representatives. All
that changed in January 1917 when Jeannette Rankin was sworn in as
the first woman elected to Congress. From the women’s suffrage
movement to the 2018 election, Ilene Cooper highlights influential
and diverse female leaders who opened doors for women in politics.
Women featured include Nancy Pelosi (the first woman Speaker of the
House), Margaret Chase Smith (the first woman elected to the
Senate), Patsy Mink (the first woman of color to serve in the
House), and newcomers like Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
and Ilhan Omar. This updated book includes archival photographs and
lively illustrations from Elizabeth Baddeley, as well as a chart of
all the women who have served in Congress, appendices that define
key terms and governmental procedures, and an index. In a great new
reading format, this updated, revised edition is perfect for young
feminists!
Halloween is near and Bobby has a great idea for costumes for
himself and his dog, Lucy. But when he brings Lucy's costume to
school for show-and-tell it disappears, and Bobby suspects the
unfriendly new student took it. Illustrations.
Ilene Cooper's sixth story of a boy and his beagle follows Bobby
and Lucy as they celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in their own
doggy way.
Bobby has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. He might
soon become a big brother, his grandmother is coming for a visit,
and he's absolutely thankful for his mom's pies, especially the
pumpkin ones. But the number-one thing Bobby wants to give thanks
for? His dog, Lucy. Lately, though, Lucy hasn't been her usual
frisky self. She's quiet. She seems unhappy. Is something wrong
with Lucy?
