Lucía was named to the 2018 ALA’s Amelia Bloomer List which compiles the best feminist books for young readers. What an honor to be part of this list! The Amelia Bloomer List is a project of the Feminist Task Force of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association.
Amelia Bloomer was a women’s rights activists, and one of the things she advocated for was women’s fashion that would be less restrictive. Bloomers are named after her!
