| Summary: | "In a beautiful picture book brimming with G for Groundbreaking women, writer, poet, and National Book Award nominee, 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"-- |
