At the BN Kids Blog she tagged eight kids’ books filled with girl power to inspire the young women in your life, including:I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark, by Debbie Levy and Elizabeth BaddeleyRead about another entry on the list.
An inspiring picture book biography of the great Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this story makes history fun and interesting for all readers. Young girls will find it especially interesting to hear about the discrimination Ginsburg faced as a Jewish woman. While she now sits on the Supreme Court, Ginsberg struggled to find a job after law school because women at the time were expected to stay home. She spent her career as a lawyer fighting for justice, and she continues to fight for justice every day, sometimes by disagreeing with her fellow justices. But despite these disagreements, Ginsberg still respects—and is even friends with—her colleagues, showing that you can disagree with someone and still be kind.
