| Subject: IndoctriNation: 12 Feminist Kids’ Books for Dismantling the Patriarchy Thu Dec 22, 2016 11:03 pm | |
| My niece is 14 weeks old. She can’t walk or talk, and who knows what’s going on in her speedily developing brain (quite a lot of things, I think!) but like a lot of aunts, I am confident that she is going to be pretty much a genius. She’s already grasping for things! And what does any budding genius child need this holiday? Books. Particularly, books that can help pave their way into a strong, courageous, patriarchy-defeating, feminist adulthood. Books the adults in their lives can read to them, and maybe even learn from themselves. Here are a few of my favorites for her growing collection, and maybe yours. (Share widely for a better future.)
Shy Rosie loves to invent things, but hides her daring creations away — until her Great Great Aunt Rose (you may know her as “the Riveter”) comes to visit and teaches her that the only way you can really fail is if you quit. (Also check out Beaty’s Ada Twist, Scientist.)
