I'm reading I Wish My Teacher Knew. I'm just starting it now!
In my class we did just that. During a unit on biographies, my students realized there were no holidays that celebrated women. "That's not fair!" they protested. I harnessed this feeling. Our class embarked on a research project. They chose to study Molly Brown, a local hero who survived the sinking of the Titanic and who was an early advocate for the rights of women, children, and laborers. My students wrote persuasive essays and successfully lobbied our principal to declare an official "Unsinkable Molly Brown Day" at our school.

Sounds like a meaningful book. I'd never thought of the holidays not being female. Good point. My quotes are from Mr. Mercedes
I bet this resonates with you.... :-) Happy weekend!
