We can't wait to introduce our kids to these feminist Women Who Dare blocks from Uncle Goose.

Women Who Dared blocks are the feminist baby gift we've been waiting for.

The accomplishments of women build on one other. We couldn't have a female presidential candidate today, for instance, if suffragettes like Elizabeth Stanton hadn't demanded the right to vote, and pioneers like Shirley Chisholm hadn't broken that first presidential run glass ceiling so many decades later. And now there's a clever new toy that plays on that fundamental truth: the wonderful Women Who Dared blocks from one of our favorite indie block makers, Uncle Goose.
