To paraphrase Boston Councilwoman Ayanna Pressley, "In order for children to reach their full potential, they have to see it's possible". Women working in non-traditional/male-dominated trades is represented in this coloring book for youngsters.
Published in 1986, this book contains illustrations children can color as they read about the women working in trades such as plumbing, firefighting, and electrical work in three languages.
