Women were supposed to stay prim and proper at home. But Adeline and Augusta -- ahem, Addie and Gussie -- Van Buren had been taught to skate, swim, and even box. They knew women could do much more than sit around in petticoats. The sisters decided to prove this by writing strongly worded letters. No, no, of course not, Addie and Gussie were fighters! In 1916, the sisters set out to cross the United States on motorcycles and prove women could help on the battlefield. Dressed in leather coats and pants, they were ready for anything -- except the fashion police! J. F. Fox examines another funny and forgotten battle in the Head-to-Head History series. The Van Buren Sisters vs. the Pants Police is an irreverent, inspiring true story about one small step -- and several thousand miles -- in the women's movement. Historical notes, a glossary, and a bibliography promote inquiry-based learning. Anna Kwan's comic-style speech bubbles and dynamic illustrations showcase plenty of humor and historical detail."-- $c Provided by publisher. 700 1 $a Kwan, Anna, $d 1991- $e illustrator. 830 0 $a Head-to-head history. 941 $a 5 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20240704011150.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014524.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20230927010128.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230811010037.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230802011121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E59156F430F911EEB9FFDC383BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
