American Girls World - Books
Great books for introducing a girl to women's history, as she looks at the experience of girls her age in other periods of American history.

History Mysteries - Boxed Sets
Each set includes three books from the History Mysteries series.

History Mysteries - Individual Books
These excellent books for girls 8-13 each feature a resourceful and courageous heroine facing both everyday problems and issues related to the history of her time. I recommend these as a great way to introduce young readers to women's history. Hardcover or paperback.
