The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
By Jacqueline Kelly
Calpurnia Virginia Tate ("Callie Vee") is growing up with 6 brothers in a wealthy Texas family. It's 1899, and there aren't too many options for ambitious, intelligent girls. Callie wants to be a scientist, but her family expects her to learn to be a passive housewife...
This is a delightful story that will make you feel lucky to be born in the 20th (or 21st) century, especially if you are female!
