From the New York Times bestselling creative team behind The ABCs of Black History, comes a statement-making follow up-The ABCs of Women's History-that celebrates women, their history, and their future, by centering the Black women, brown women, transwomen, and the disruptors who blazed a path forward for everyone. In a beautiful picture book brimming with G for Groundbreaking women, writer and poet Rio Cortez and illustrator Lauren Semmer celebrate all the joys, challenges, and historic forward movement of women's history in the United States.
This is a book of people, of ideas, of accomplishments and events. It's a book about Artists, Activists and Allies, about Civil Rights and Choice, about Freedom Fighters, Headliners, Justice and Labor. It's about historic moments-Kamala Harris being sworn in as the first African-American and first Asian-American Vice President of the United States; Title IX passing through Congress; Seneca Falls where the first women's rights convention was held; the Riot Grrrls movement, and so much more.
The ABCs of Women's History is a story of persistence. It's a story of pride. And it's a story of progress. This book celebrates the disruptors, the dreamers, the determined, and the do-it-yourself-ers who continue to inspire the next generation of women to build a brighter, better tomorrow.
