Help Wanted

by Frieda Toth, Marika McCoola (Illustrator)

Lisa wants a job. A good one. But it's the 1970's, and she's a girl. How can she get the job she wants? With delightful pictures full of period detail, Help Wanted tells the story of one girl--but a story common to the era. When it was still legal to segregate job ads by gender, how could a girl succeed? Lisa educates herself into the life she wants. Young children will enjoy determined Lisa; older readers will notice how gender roles have changed and continue to change.
