Women have been out and about in the political world since politics started. But they just never get the credit they deserve. Like Felisa Rincaon de Gautier or more commonly known as Dona Fela. She was a young woman during the time when many women, even those of privilege, could not read and none had the right to vote. She saw this injustice (and others) and helped where she could well into her adulthood. One day, after a tragic event, she would be asked to help her country by becoming the Mayor of Puerto Rico. 
We find these and other amazing facts about her in Doña Fela’s Dream: The Story of Puerto Rico’s First Female Mayor by Monica Brown and illustrated by Rosa Ibarra. Though it is currently available, I read it via an online reader copy. I think I will be looking into getting copies of the book for my local libraries and along with Claudia Said Sí!: The Story of Mexico’s First Woman President by Deborah Bodin Cohenm, start a collection of women politicians for my great niece. 
The book is colorful, busy and has a lot going on. It might be best for the aged five and up (up to around 8 years of age). The format I am assuming might turn off the older reader, but the theme and way it is presented is perfect for a classroom for those older readers. Now, things did not “WOW best book ever” me, but it was a strong read that deserves multiple reads. Several extras continue de Gautier’s life and accomplishments.
