Rosie the Reader

The Women's Center invites you to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the March 3, 1913 suffrage parade by bringing your children for an empowering children's hour on Saturday, March 2, 2013, at 1pm in the Women's Center. Our reader will be dressed as Rosie the Riveter, and we encourage those in attendance to dress as their favorite person in women's history. We hope to see suffragists, female athletes, and ally's of women's rights!

We've been collecting books with positive female role models that we will choose from on the day. Our current selection includes:

The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch

Mommy, Mama, and Me by Lesléa Newman

Wilma Unlimited: How Wilma Rudolph Became the World's Fastest Woman by Kathleen Krull

Mama Went to Jail for the Vote by Kathleen Karr

The Princess Knight by Cornelia Funke and Kerstin Meyer

Princess Smartypants by Babette Cole

Bineshiinh dibaajmowin/Bird Talk by Lenore Keeshig-Tobias
