You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer! by Shana Corey, illustrated by Chelsey McLauren, Scholastic Press, 2000, ISBN 0-439-07819-9
Bookjacket: Would you dare to bare your underwear? If you like clothes and people with the courage to SKIRT conventions and adDRESS injustice, then Amelia Bloomer and her unFITTING ideas will charm the PANTS off you!
Amelia Bloomer was NOT a proper lady, and she thought all the silliness associated with being a proper lady were completely unnecessary, and she did her part to change certain laws and rules. She was one of the original "women's libbers", and we can all probably thank her that we don't have to still wear corsets and long, full skirts!
A good biography told in story-type fashion.
