The year is 1899 and Calpurnia (Callie) Virginia Tate is eleven years old. The only girl of seven children, she’s expected to participate in lady-like activities and hone the skills that will one day make her a suitable wife, but Callie’s more interested in nature and science. With a little help from her grandfather – a war veteran and naturalist – Callie is able to explore the natural world and imagine a future for herself that’s much grander than a life spent in a kitchen making meals for her husband. Callie makes for a striking protagonist. Her unconventional view of the world, particularly for a girl living at the turn of the century, is the hallmark of The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches. And if any young knights in armor dared to come calling on their white chargers and plead with me to let down my hair, I would pelt them with peach pits until they went home. At every turn, Callie is torn between who she wishes to be and who others expect her to be. When she attempts to do a little hard work in the field to pass the time, Calpurnia is reprimanded for “ playing like [she’s] a Negro. ” When it’s evident her mother is disappointed that she doesn’t wish to spend hours sewing and knitting, Calpurnia wonders, “ So I didn’t like to talk patterns and recipes and pour tea in the parlor. Did that make me selfish? Did that make me odd? ” And when she anticipates earning money for watching two dozen babies, her brother Lamar scoffs and tells her, “ Girls don’t get paid. Girls can’t even vote. They don’t get paid. Girls stay home. ” Despite the many hurdles she faces, Callie remains resilient. This is due, in part, to the presence of her granddaddy who is endlessly supportive of her interests. [Granddaddy told me about ways in which you could get to the truth of any matter, not merely sitting around thinking about it like Aristotle (a smart but confused Grecian gentleman), but going and looking for your own eyes; about making your Hypothesis and devising your Experiment, and testing by Observation, and coming to a Conclusion. And testing the strength of your Conclusion, over and over again . Callie’s story is one of determination and would stand well on its own, but the addition of her blossoming relationship with her granddaddy – as they explore nature together, learn about one another, and strive to discover a new species of plant – elevates every aspect of the narrative. Because of the age group of its intended audience (ages 9 to 12) some aspects of the book bear mentioning. First, two incidences of significant violence are mentioned. Battlefield wounds are described, including blood, shattered and amputated limbs, and a more detailed account of a man having his leg cut off. (view spoiler) [
“Then I pulled on his leg as hard as I could while the surgeon sawed and made his flap. Suddenly the leg came off in my arms, and I stood there cradling it as if it were a child. It’s a surprising thing, you know – how heavy a man’s leg is. I stood there and held it. I didn’t want to throw it in the pile with all the others.
(hide spoiler) ] Also, a woman is described as being “ pitch-forked ” to death by her angry husband for being “ one fourth Negro .” Second, the book has advanced diction and vocabulary, words such as minutiae, dyspeptically, pedagogic, and dissonant. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate gives a sentimental account of a transformative year in the life of a girl whose inquisitiveness about the natural world leads her to imagine a future in which she, as a woman, is given the same opportunities as any man.

3.75 stars. This book is basically a series of vignettes from a six month period in the life of a spunky, independent 11 year old girl living in Texas in 1899. Calpurnia Virginia (Callie Vee) Tate yearns for more than the life of a debutante and housewife that she already sees her mother herding her toward. She unexpectedly finds a kindred spirit in her scientifically-minded grandfather, who encourages her inquisitive character and teaches her, not just about scientific observation, but about great women scientists. The quotes from Charles Darwin at the beginning of each chapter have an interesting and often amusing connection to the events occurring in that chapter. When Callie first looks into her grandfather's microscope at a drop of river water, you can see the world opening up for her: A teeming, swirling world of enormous, wriggling creatures burst into my vision, scaring the daylights out of me. ... Something with many tiny hairs rowed past at high speed; something else with a lashing tail whipped by; a tumbling barbed sphere like a medieval mace rolled past; delicate, filmy ghostlike shadows flitted in and out of the field. It was chaotic, it was wild, it was . . . the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. "This is what I swim in?" I said, wishing I didn't know. This middle grade book reminds me of the Little House books of Laura Ingalls Wilder, but with more of a feminist slant. There's not much of a plot here, and what there is of it is kind of meandering and unresolved, but Callie is a sympathetic and engaging character, her brothers were a hoot (even if they seemed pretty much interchangeable to Callie's grandfather and to me), and her life and experiences in a small town in turn-of-the-century Texas felt very real. Some fine research went into the writing of this book. I particularly liked the scenes of celebrating the turn of the century, Callie and brother drinking the new drink Coca-Cola (back when the "Coca" part of the name really meant something!), and winning ribbons at the county fair. Callie and her friend Lula have a hilarious talk about getting married, from an eleven year old's perspective: "You have to let your husband kiss you once you're married. And you have to kiss him back." " No ," she said. "Yes." I nodded, as if I knew everything there was to know about husbands and wives kissing. "That's what they do together." "Do you have to?" "Oh, absolutely. It's the law." "I never heard of that law," she said dubiously. "It's true, it's Texas law." I wish Callie and the novel hadn't been quite so dismissive of homemaking--Callie's mother has seven children and regularly resorts to imbibing a tonic with a high alcoholic content to get her through the day, and Callie can't imagine anything worse than being a debutante and then a housewife, even though her family is wealthy enough to have several servants--but on the other hand I'm a firm believer in opportunities and choices for women, and deeply appreciate the sacrifices made by women in prior generations that have enabled us to have so many more rights and options for our lives today. This book is a good reminder for young readers, and for all of us, of the importance of having opportunities to pursue our dreams.

“I wondered if. . .” I wondered if this was good news or bad, that was all. But I had no intention of meddling. “Please don't wonder, Calpurnia. I find it's dangerous when you wonder.” It is dangerous when you wonder, especially if you're an 11-year-old girl in 1899 and expected only to make your debut as a genteel bride on your wedding day. But Calpurnia Tate does wonder, and her science-obsessed grandfather encourages such thinking. Her mother would prefer her to read The Science of Housewifery , while Calpurnia prefers a different type of science: Charles Darwin's The Origin of the Species . My girls and I read this together, and we decided it was unlike any other middle grades novels we'd ever encountered. It's historical fiction, and published in 2009, so the author had the advantage of transferring modern ideas to an older turn of a century, but there are some great big thoughts for girls here. Great ones, indeed. We all agreed that the book was too long, and we wondered at some of the more mature moments (one brother is hell-bent on calling his younger brother a “titty-baby.” Surprising!). There were also some break-out conversations about lusty farm animals, too. Again: Surprising! All in all, it was an intriguing read and we agreed easily on four stars. As an interesting aside, I timed this one so we were actually reading this book set in Texas while driving through the actual state of Texas last week. We were in the northern part of the state, with only the town of Amarillo to represent civilization. The girls listened to the story as they declared the views from the windows “boring,” but I looked out at those tall, lonely windmills and dreamed of Don Quixote; I looked out at the tall, lonely cattle and dreamed of Gus McCrae. One story just opens us up to another story. They make us wonder. A dangerous thing.

First, let me try to be fair and share things I liked. I liked Calpurnia--her spunk,loyalty and ambition to do "great things". I liked her curiosity about the world and her courage to forge a relationship with her grandfather. In and of itself, I loved that relationship; to be "in" with a grandparent the way she "became" would be a boon and blessing to any child. However, though I thought her grandfather was likable and validated Calpurnia in important ways, his character seems to have devolved
First, let me try to be fair and share things I liked. I liked Calpurnia--her spunk,loyalty and ambition to do "great things". I liked her curiosity about the world and her courage to forge a relationship with her grandfather. In and of itself, I loved that relationship; to be "in" with a grandparent the way she "became" would be a boon and blessing to any child. However, though I thought her grandfather was likable and validated Calpurnia in important ways, his character seems to have devolved into a selfish, self absorbed presence that concerns himself only with matters that directly affect him. I say devolved because we catch glimpses of a full and rich earlier life, but by the time we meet him, he seems to have distanced everyone around him, taking --never giving, and the only reason he builds such an endearing relationship with Calpurnia is because she ventures into his world and on his terms; he shuts out everyone else who is unwilling to make that journey. In the end I wanted him to help her transition, to help her see that all of the bright lights of learning and discovery and important things can be had in every avenue of life if we choose to see it. Through his encouragement and because of their relationship, she could have had that vision, but he was never willing to venture outside of his world long enough to teach her anything that broad. I got the sense that her relationship with her grandfather would be fleeting and as her experiences diverged from his, Calpurnia would be shut out again as well. My second irritation was minor and a bit unfair, because the title of the book states clearly it's subject matter and I chose to pick it up, but I found the chapter headings to be a little irritating and manipulated, like the author was trying to push her Darwinian views a little too forcefully down one's throat. Lastly, and this would stop me from recommending the book to any of the young girls of my acquaintance, for who it is supposedly intended. The role of wife, mother and homemaker is disturbingly undermined and devalued. The following quotes summarize the tone of the book. “My mother’s life was a never-ending round of maintenance. Not one single thing did she ever achieve but that it had to be done all over again, one day or one week or one season later. Oh, the monotony." “...I was exactly like other girls. I was expected to hand over my life to a house, a husband, children. ...My life was forfeit. Why hadn’t I seen it? I was trapped. A coyote with her paw in the trap.” ”..I leaned against the wall and stood there, empty, for a long time. Empty of everything. I was only a practical vessel of helpful service, waiting to be filled up with recipes and knitting patterns.” I finished the book, waiting for the moment when someone would help Calpurnia dispel the nightmarish destiny she was conjuring in her mind and help her to know that though every homemaker will feel the "never-ending round of maintenance", and on a bad day feel like "only a practical vessel of helpful service" that there are so many other beautiful days in between. That being a wife and mother brings the great joys of life. That discovery and learning and ambition are still there for the taking. But, those ideas never emerged and she... and we, were left looking ahead to a life filled with headaches and tonic, and frippery. A well written story, just not my kind of themes.
