Inspirations: Stories About Women Artists door Leslie Sills
This book provides a brief biography of three different female artists, photos of their art, and how they became an artist. This is a text heavy book and perhaps too much information for an elementary age student. Would be best as a recordation for a specific interest group.
This book will highly engage intermediate or even middle level readers. It shows different aspects of clothing that girls in the past have worn during various phases in America. It includes images, descriptions, real life people, and a glossary to supplement the information provided.
Girls who are interested in fashion or history may particularly enjoy this book and it will add to their understanding of their personal rights in modern times to dress as they choose.

It is about the different clothing that was worn through out the centuries. Some of the clothing was from the 1950's while others were more modern from the twentieth century. The clothing discussed in this book was about what women wear and how their style and dress of clothing has changed over the centuries.
Leslie Sills does an excellent job doing exactly what the title says: giving an history of girls' clothing in America. One thing that stands out in particular is the diversity in pictures. Sills not only presents a history of white America's girls' clothing, but she also uses pictures of girls from a variety of cultures and backgrounds throughout history. Social commentary accompanies fashion trends, allowing readers an informed understanding of what, when, and why trends changed. It's an excellent source if you're looking for girls-specific fashion history.… (meer)
