You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer A Very Improper Story

This engaging picture book introduces young readers to Amelia Bloomer, a remarkable figure from 19th-century America who championed women's rights through fashion reform. It humorously and accessibly portrays how Amelia, finding traditional dresses restrictive and impractical, advocated for and popularized "bloomers," a revolutionary style of pantaloons. The story highlights themes of individuality, courage, and standing up for what is right, even when it means going against societal expectations. It's an excellent conversation starter about historical gender roles, comfort, and the power of one person to initiate change.
