 * //__Amelia Bloomer: Fashion in Time

I know I wanted to do a person who helped the fashion industry. I was wearing a new pair of pants that day and I was thinking about how pants were invented, but I could not remember the person's name who invented those pants. Then, as a little girl, I remembered reading a book about her. Ding! It popped into my head that Amelia Bloomer was her name. That had to do with fashion, so I went with it.

I started by looking on the Internet. I got the basic information, but I wanted more, so I went to the library. I went to the public library and my school library. Then I got the primary sources and got more in-depth information about her life.

I decided what I wanted to do an exhibit. I got the board and drew a sketch of what it was going to look like. Then I started printing off pictures and writing words to put on the exhibit.

Amelia Bloomer relates to the theme because if she would not have kept wearing the bloomers, we might still be wearing big, long, uncomfortable dresses. I learned that she also helped with the women's right to vote, and she published a newspaper. I wanted to include that information, too, since it fit with the theme, "The Individual in History: Actions and Legacies." Amelia Bloomer accomplished a lot for a woman back then.
