Hannah G. Solomon Dared to Make a Difference

When Hannah G. Solomon looked around Chicago, the city where she was born, she saw unfairness all around her. Many people were poor and living in terrible conditions. Immigrants from other countries struggled to survive in their new home. Hannah's family had always fought for what was right — they had provided a refuge to runaway slaves, and even as they struggled through the Civil War and the Great Chicago Fire, they always tried to help others. So Hannah decided that she would help change conditions for people in Chicago... and across the country.

When she grew up, she founded the National Council of Jewish Women ― the first organization to unite Jewish women around the country ― and fought to make life better for others. She spoke up for immigrants, for women, and for children. In this powerful picture book biography of a little-known social reformer, activist, and organizer, kids will discover how anyone can be the spark of a movement that changes the world.
