Author Notes:

Karen Blumenthal (1959-2020) was a financial journalist and editor whose career included five years with The Dallas Morning News and twenty-five with The Wall Street Journal --where her work helped earn the paper a Pulitzer Prize for its breaking news coverage of the September 11, 2001 attacks--before becoming an award-winning children's non-fiction book writer.

Three of her books, Hillary Rodham Clinton: A Woman Living History , Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different , and Bootleg: Murder, Moonshine, and the Lawless Years of Prohibition , were finalists for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Award.

Karen was also the author of Six Days in October: The Stock Market Crash of 1929 (named a Sibert Honor Book), Let Me Play: The Story of Title IX (winner of the Jane Addams Children's Book Award), Tommy: The Gun That Changed America , Bonnie and Clyde: The Making of a Legend , and Jane Against the World: Roe v. Wade and the Fight for Reproductive Rights .
