The “Kidlitosphere community ( blogs about kids books) has never had an organized month-long event honoring women’s history before.  Even though the American Library Association regularly recognizes noteworthy titles in that area( through their Amelia Bloomer awards) this is truly a first of its kind within this arena.

Decades ago, most students would have to peruse their local library in hopes of stumbling unto a biography of Harriet Tubman or of Florence Nightingale in their local school or public library. Even years earlier, Not so long ago, women’s history was virtually ignored in the K-12 curriculum.

  Today, we are all so fortunate to have ample resources for America’s children to learn more  about women’s history and to have it catered and written for young students. This special blog  highlights some of these books and their authors for parents, teachers, and librarians.  

  Kid lit  has decided to leave the site up to remain for an entire year. In today’s web 2.0 age, several blogs are recognized as resources for important information. Which is why this blog will be made readily available as a year-round resource for anyone enticed into learning more  about women’s history.
