What Katy Did [EPUB ebook] 

Times were tough for tomboys in nineteenth-century America. In an era during which the prescribed notions of proper behavior for women and girls were much stricter than they are today, the rough-and-tumble types who couldn’t get enough of team sports and the great outdoors were often shunned. This fun and engaging juvenile novel is a great introduction to the period for young readers and adults alike.
