Target: Book re: intolerance toward women/girls

[Eileen Cunningham <emc7@erols.com>]

Hi fellow LM-Netters:

Two 7th grade teachers are using the theme of tolerance/intolerance as a
year long theme.  One of them asked me if I could recommend a book about
a woman or girl overcoming intolerance.  She would like to read an
excerpt in her class.  It can be fiction or nonfiction, but hopefully
something the students can really relate to.  I drew a blank except for
Spinelli's "There's a Girl in My Hammerlock".  Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
