AN ESSAY CONTEST
The authors of the Matty Trescott series of books are sponsoring a contest about “Breaking Barriers for Women.”
In the Matty Trescott books, cousins Neely Allen and Matty Trescott break down many barriers that existed for women in the nineteenth century, defending the family farm against raiders, fighting in the war between the states, and becoming doctors and scientists. What barriers for women do you see yourself breaking in the future? What have you done in the last year that will help you achieve your future goals?
The rules state that the essay must be approved by a “sponsoring teacher” but don’t say that homeschoolers are excluded.
