The book features a multicultural cast of women from Angela Davis to Dolores Huerta to Maya Lin and Wilma Mankiller in careers as varied as comedy, athletics, dance, aviation, ecology, and law. The 26 one-page biographies are well written, readable introductions to these women and how they made an impact on the world. The book ends with an alphabet of 26 things readers can do to be rad, and a resource guide lists books, websites, and organizations of interest to readers who want more information or who want to start making a difference now.”–Linda Parsons, Literacy Daily<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You can support Charleston Good & local bookstores by shopping via our store at BookShop.org<\/a><\/p>\n
