Notes

General Note
"Originally inspired by the episode 'Mary Walker would wear what she wanted' from the podcast 'The memory palace'".
Description
Once upon a time (but not too long ago), girls only wore dresses. And only boys wore pants. Until one day, a young girl named Mary had a bold idea: She would wear whatever she wanted. And she wanted to wear pants! Inspired by the true story of Mary Edwards Walker, a trailblazing doctor who was arrested many times for wearing pants, this fresh, charming picture book encourages readers to think for themselves while gently challenging gender and societal norms.
Description
In a time when girls only wore skirts, Mary decides she wants to wear pants, scandalizing the entire town, in a book inspired by the trailblazing Mary Edwards Walker who was arrested many times for her clothing choices.
