The Van Buren Sisters vs The Pants Police
A great historical book about two impactful women I had never heard of! The story follows two sisters who loved adventure and sports. Their father encouraged them to be themselves, even though it challenged the status quo of societal expectations of women at the time. They ended up riding motorcycles across the US in an effort to show that women were capable of daring things, but mostly because they thought women should be allowed to join the military. Their journey changed the minds of many people, as well as enraging many others. Ultimately they contributed to the prevalence of pants today for everyone.
As a lover of pants, I am so thankful for Addie and Gussie!
