The Women's Movement has been so central to me my entire adult life that I did not know where to begin on this topic.
I am so pleased that there are a multitude of materials for young and not so young people.
In junior high I wanted to do a history report on women's suffrage; I remember being fascinated with the fact that at the time my parents were born, my grandmothers could not have voted.
They were not especially perturbed about this and "didn't remember" anything about the suffrage movement.
I was able to find one paragraph about Susan B. in one source. That was it.
Now more about the magnitude and complexity of the entire movement pervades the literature.
I remember being especially pleased with the mention of Sarah Bagley in Paterson's *Lyddie.* She was a particular heroine of mine when I studied the history of reformist movements in America.

Dear CCBC-Net Community,
We know the on-topic CCBC-Net discussion (women's history in children's and young adult literature) has been slow in recent days. Still, we do want to remind you that CCBC-Net is not an open forum for announcements and dicussion that does not relate to the current discussion topic on children's and young adult literature. There are other discussion lists that welcome open announcements and discussion topics. But many people value CCBC-Net for the very reason that it is focuses, and we are committed to keeping it that way. (We also realize that sometimes our tangents turn into unforseen discussions about issues in children's and young adult literature that we hadn't envisioned when a topic was first announced, and we do try to remain flexible enough to embrace such discussions when they arise....)
Our apologies for being remiss as facilitators in not stepping in sooner this month to promote more on-topic discussion of women's history.
Today will be the las day to post on women's history. Tomorrow we will turn our attention to religion in books for youth.
Who has final reflections, or books to share, or thoughts about how the women's history/women's role in history have been treated in literature for children and teenagers?
