The Girl Who Threw Butterflies was one of six middle readers named to the 2010 Amelia Bloomer List. The Amelia Bloomer Project is part of the Feminist Task Force of the American Library Association’s Social Responsibility Round Table. This bibliography is intended to highlight feminist books that examine women’s history, celebrate women who have blazed trails, describe problems and identify solutions for situations women face today. In an effort both to alert readers to society’s opposition toward women’s equality and to highlight progress toward this vital goal, the 2010 Amelia Bloomer Project members selected 54 books notable for feminist content, quality of writing and appeal to young readers.
