Votes for women: empowering books for children

February 6, 2018. Leave a Comment

 

Today marks 100 years since Parliament passed a law to allow the first women (those over 30 who owned property) to vote. Alfie and Kitty were incredulous that women didn't have the same rights as men back then (and even more shocked when I explained that often women are paid less for doing the same jobs as men). It's so important to make sure the next generation is educated about the amazing women who fought for the right to vote – and other gender battles – so I've done a round-up of some of our favourite empowering books with strong female role models. Enjoy!

 

Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty (Abrams, RRP £13.99). Our favourite spotty head-scarf wearing inventor draws inspiration from the women who worked in munitions during World War Two.

Little People, Big Dreams by Lisbeth Kaiser (Frances Lincoln, RRP £9.99). We adore the entire Little People, Big Dreams series, which explores the lives of inspirational women. This portrait of the suffragette is particularly poignant today.

What Would She Do? by Kay Woodward (Carlton, RRP £9.99). A look at the lives of 25 amazing rebel women, from Cleopatra to Malala, via Emmeline Pankhurst and Emma Watson, with stunning illustrations. 

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo (Penguin, RRP £20). A modern-day must-have – and an education. You'll find all the traditional feminist icons, plus fascinating unsung heroes.

Ella: Queen of Jazz by Helen Hancocks (Frances Lincoln, RRP £11.99). Delightful picture book about sisterhood, friendship and one woman's refusal to give up on her talent.

Ada's Ideas by Fiona Robinson (Abrams, RRP £9.99). The fascinating tale of Ada Lovelace, inventor, mathematician, daughter of Lord Byron and the world's first computer programmer.

Three Cheers for Women

Three Cheers for Women by Marcia Williams (Walker, RRP £12.99). Graphic novel celebrating fantastic women because, let's face it, there are a LOT throughout history to learn about.

Women in Science by Rachel Ignotofsky (Wren & Rook, RRP £12.99). A lusciously illustrated celebration of the achievements of trailblazing women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths. 

Little Red by Bethan Woollvin (Two Hoots, RRP £11.99). Oh, we do enjoy a feminist reimagining of a classic fairy tale. See also Sleeping Beauty: A Mid-Century Fairy Tale and Interstellar Cinderella.
