CSS ChoiceBooks Amelia Bloomer Project

Page history last edited by Priscilla Cordero 12 years ago

The Amelia Bloomer Project  is part of  the Feminist Task Force of ALA's Social Responsibilities Round Table.  Since 2002 the members of the project have published a list of the best feminist books for young readers, ages birth through 18. 

 

2008 committee members had this to say about feminist books for young people:

 

We are frustrated by the small number of truly powerful, well-written feminist books for young readers, and by the small number of non-white, non-Western characters. We are also dismayed by the dearth of authentic feminist fiction for beginning and middle readers. We challenge publishers to develop thoughtful feminist books that will open the eyes of young readers to the possibility of equality for women. Jyoti says simply, “The battle has just begun."
