The front cover shows Eleanor Roosevelt sitting rather close behind Amelia Earhart. Given the common belief that Roosevelt had at least one same-sex relationship, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>So I opened the book, and was inappropriately tickled by various lines from the first couple pages. For example:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Amelia was daring and liked to try things other women wouldn't even consider.<\/p>\n<p>Eleanor was the very same.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\"Bring your husband and come to dinner at my house! You can even sleep over.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There was more that could be read this way in the next page or two, but I didn't write it down and those later pages aren't available in online previews of the book.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there were enough lines that could be read as double entendres that I almost wondered whether the author had slipped them in intentionally. But I doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of all that, looked like it could be a good book. I may pick it up next time I see it.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a gift shop on Saturday, we came across a kids&#8217; book called Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-queer"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12364\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
