Synopsis

Today, feminism is as important as ever. Betty Friedan’s musings, “to take the actions needed to bring women into the mainstream of American society, now; full equality for women, in fully equal partnership with men,” still hold fervently true in current society. Young readers still fighting for equality today need to know how the movement began years ago, with such basics as the right to vote, the right to birth control, and the right to equal employment. Leading historian Jules Archer’s account offers fascinating biographies of Susan B. Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Betty Friedan, with a full background of the political organizations they worked for and against.Forty-four percent of general American history books do not even mention the struggle for women’s suffrage, and 65 percent fail to record the name of Susan B. Anthony. Even more young readers have never heard the names of Margaret Sanger and Betty Friedan. As far as most of these books are concerned, women are invisible in American history. But these women dared to defy convention, at great personal risk, for the cause of sexual and gender equality. Their stories must be remembered. With a new foreword by feminist author Naomi Wolf, The Feminist Revolution relies heavily on letters, diaries, and other personal forms of communication to tell the story of women’s rights in this country. Part of Sky Pony Press’s revitalization of the Jules Archer History for Young Readers, series, this book is a must-read introduction to the Feminist Revolution for all young adults.

    A Texas armadillo tries to fit in on the bayou—and learns a few Cajun words—in the beloved series that provides “plenty of fun” (Publishers Weekly).

However, when one of Clovis Crawfish’s friends becomes stuck in a tall thorn bush, Andrew’s height just might come in handy . . . Illustrator Scott R. Blazek joins Mary Alice Fontenot yet again to present this fun story about friendship and Cajun culture. With the inclusion of sheet music for the Cajun song “Fais Pas des Bêtises,” Cajun phrases, and definitions and pronunciations of Cajun words, this book is a delight for anyone who’s ever felt like the new kid in town.  Praise for the series   “In Louisiana’s bayou country, Clovis Crawfish is a favorite folk hero of children who have met him in Fontenot’s lively tales. . . . The stories have suspense, lessons in nature lore, French words, and plenty of fun.” —Publishers Weekly   “Stories that are simply fun to read.” —Houston Post

    The speckled hen laid 12 eggs in her hidden nest at the top of the hay pile in the barn and the very last one, whom she called Humpty Dumpty having run out of names, was the largest of all. Now you may not know that eggs can talk but they can. The nest was very crowded and so the eggs began kicking each other to get more space for themselves. Humpty Dumpty, being on the very edge of the next, was kicked completely out and then decided to look about the wide world to see what he could see. You will need to listen to this story to know what happens next but I assure you it is very exciting and involves a beautiful princess and a king and a happy marriage not to mention the king's horses. And Humpty was involved in all of it. !!!
