Check Out New Kids’ Book “Rad American Women A-Z”“Ever wanted a women-centric history book to hand to a kid? This March, publisher City Lights/Sister Spit is releasing an exciting new book that tells the stories of 26 important American women, one for each letter of the alphabet. Rad American Women A-Z features biographies of women from Angela Davis to Zora Neale Huston. Author Kate Schatz and illustrator Miriam Klein Stahl highlight a great selection of women—the group is diverse in terms of race, era, and in their field of work, ranging from scientists to writers and activists. "American history was made by countless rad—and often radical—women,” says the book’s description. “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.”Read the full piece here, including three sample pages: S is for Sonia Sotomayor, T is for Temple Grandin, and U is for Ursula K. Leguin! -- source link
