Rad American Women A-Z: Rebels, Trailblazers, and Visionaries Who Shaped Our History... And Our Future!

Like all A-Z books, this one illustrates the alphabet -- but instead of "A is for Apple", A is for Angela -- as in Angela Davis, the iconic political activist; B is for Billie Jean King, who shattered the glass ceiling of sports; C is for Carol Burnett, who defied assumptions about women in comedy; D is for Dolores Huerta, who organized farmworkers; and E is for Ella Baker, who mentored Dr. Martin Luther King and helped shape the Civil Rights Movement.

And the list of great women continues, spanning several centuries, multiple professions, and 26 diverse individuals. There are artists and abolitionists, scientists and suffragettes, rock stars and rabble-rousers, and agents of change of all kinds.

American history was made by countless rad—and often radical—women. By offering a fresh and diverse array of female role models, we can remind readers that there are many places to find inspiration, and that being smart and strong and brave is rad.

Description

"Colorful and hip portraitures create a visual sensation that immediately draws in readers. Profiled are 26 American women from the 18th through 21st centuries, who have made—or are still making—history as artists, writers, teachers, lawyers, or athletes. The women come from a variety of economic and ethnic backgrounds and many had to overcome extreme hardships...Interestingly, the letter X is designated for the women, 'we haven't learned about yet, and the women whose stories we will never read.' The book's conclusion challenges readers to be strong and to make a difference in their own communities and suggests 26 things that students can do to be rad." — Patricia Ann Owens, School Library Journal
