Review:
Don’t you think that women
who work a job, cook, clean and take care of their families and who feel
invisible deserve a day off? The day the Icelandic women walked out of their homes
and jobs sent a ripple around the world. It is believed that more than 90% of
women participated in this movement that resulted in International Women’s Year
by the United Nations. Every year on October 24th women celebrate
Women’s Day Off!
There is so much for to this story that parents and teachers can share with children in this handy guide. Lively illustrations show women marching and cheering. There are illustrations of men working jobs and taking care of the home. Children can learn about fighting for equality. The back pages share the history of this big event that started in 1975.
