"When people think about the women's suffrage movement, things like voting rights and protests may come to mind. But what was the movement all about, and what social change did it bring? Find out interesting, little-known facts such as how the suffragists were the first people to ever picket the White House and how the nineteenth amendment granting women the right to vote passed by only one vote when a legislator changed his vote to "yes" after receiving a letter from his mother telling him to "do the right thing.""--

Knowing herself to be a girl despite her outwardly male appearance, George is denied a female role in the class play before teaming up with a friend to reveal her true self.
This sweet, lovely book follows a 10-year-old girl named Melissa. The bad news is, everybody else thinks that she's a boy named George, because that's the gender and name she was assigned at birth. This book models compassion, acceptance, love, and empowerment. Great for little kids, older kids, and adults--just keep in mind that it was written for readers around the ages 8-12. -Amanda
