Wednesdays with The Subversive Children's Book Club: Women's History! (Herstory!)

In honor of Women's History Month, this installment of Wednesdays with The Subversive Children's Book Club features books about herstory, which we still do not learn enough of in our schools (still thanks to bodies like the Texas State Board of Education).  Teach it anyways.  Make it anyways.  Enjoy.
