Their topic this term is 'Explorers' and the class are preparing a presentation for assembly. DD pointed out that all the explorers they were learning about were male, and asked if she could talk about a female explorer and suggested Sacagawea. We've just been looking up facts for her to use.

I know it's a small thing, but she is really fired up about it Smile

Well done your 9 year old DD. And not a small thing - a huge, epic thing, and hopefully standing her in good stead for a whole lifetime of huge, epic things Grin.

I knew you lot would know it was important!

We learnt about Sacagawea thanks to 'Night at the Museum', that well-known feminist film Wink

That is awesome. Your DD rocks! I would be so chuffed if mine did that.

It's not a small thing at all to speak up in school like that, and point out where the teachers have got it wrong! Well done to your DD Smile. Sacagawea is a great pick!
