Review Detail

As an adult woman, I don’t really remember a time when women couldn’t do the things they wanted to do just because they happened to be female. We are so privileged today to have the same freedoms as men, even though our struggle for equality still continues in many ways. But the young girls and women of today are even further removed from the struggles of our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers than previous generations. It is more important than ever that our girls understand where their rights came from. That they understand and are educated about the women who fought for their right to be more than someone’s wife and someone’s mother. For their right to chase their dreams.
It is so important for all of our children to be exposed to positive forces for change, like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who fought an upward battle to become a Supreme Court Judge during a time when women were expected to remain in the home. She was a trailblazer. And we can never forget the trailblazers who made much of the freedoms we enjoy today possible.
That is why books like No Truth Without Ruth are so necessary. Perfect for children as young as four, it is never too early to expose your child to the simple truths of women’s history.
No Truth Without Ruth is beautifully illustrated, and the age appropriate text allows young children to grasp Ruth’s experiences while still enjoying the tone of storytelling. Recommended for children ages 4 – 8, this book is perfect for school libraries as well as a powerful addition to your child’s home library. ?
