Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Guay, Rebecca (illustrator). Neuware - From Jezebel to Catherine the Great, from Cleopatra to Mae West, from Mata Hari to Bonnie Parker, strong women have been a problem for historians, storytellers, and readers. Strong females smack of the unfeminine. They have been called wicked, wanton, and willful. Sometimes that is a just designation, but just as often it is not. 'Well-behaved women seldom make history,' is the frequently quoted statement by historian and feminist Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. But what makes these misbehaving women 'bad' Are we idolizing the wicked or salvaging the strong In BAD GIRLS, readers meet twenty-six of history's most notorious women, each with a rotten reputation. But authors Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple remind us that there are two sides to every story. Was Delilah a harlot or hero Was Catherine the Great a great ruler, or just plain ruthless At the end of each chapter, Yolen and Stemple appear as themselves in comic panels as they debate each girl's badnessHeidi as the prosecution, Jane for context.This unique and sassy examination of famed, female historical figures will engage readers with its unusual presentation of the subject matter. Heidi and Jane's strong arguments for the innocence and guilt of each bad girl promotes the practice of critical thinking as well as the idea that history is subjective. Rebecca Guay's detailed illustrations provide a rich, stylized portrait of each woman, while the inclusion of comic panels will resonate with fans of graphic novels. 172 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Reinhardt, Jennifer Black (illustrator). Neuware - Both Thomas Edison and Henry Ford started off as insatiably curious tinkerers. That curiosity led them to become inventors-with very different results. As Edison invented hit after commercial hit, gaining fame and fortune, Henry struggled to make a single invention (an affordable car) work. Witnessing Thomas's glorious career from afar, a frustrated Henry wondered about the secret to his success. This little-known story is a fresh, kid-friendly way to show how Thomas Edison and Henry Ford grew up to be the most famous inventors in the world-and best friends, too.
