Women need to take radical steps to become feminists, and to be strong to fight for their rights and those of others facing oppression and discrimination.

But to see cartoon-me positioned (alphabetically) amongst so many of my women heroes and role models . . . well, I just broke down and cried. Happy tears. I surely hope that this one-of-a-kind collection of radical American women reaches the hands of all children who want to grow up and become amazing women.\"--\u003cb\u003eKate Bornstein\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eMy New Gender Workbook\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Any alphabet book for children where 'P is for Patti' Smith and 'X is for the women whose names we don't know' is something I can recommend, especially when the book is as well written, representationally diverse and vividly illustrated as this one.\"--\u003cb\u003eFrancesca Lia Block\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eDangerous Angels: The Weetzie Bat Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I was totally in rapture reading this book. Bold women, bold colors, and fierce black paper cutouts. I cheer these histories of women who fight not for war or country or corporation, but for EVERYONE!

This MUST HAVE super fun read fills in the missing pieces in so many kids' (and grown-ups') educations. Couldn't recommend it enough.\"--\u003cb\u003eKathleen Hanna\u003c\/b\u003e, singer, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin\u003cbr\u003eie Ruin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eRad American Women A To Z\u003c\/i\u003e, by Kate Schatz and wonderfully illustrated by Miriam Klein Stahl, is a fantastic book for any child, but especially for girls. I think it's so important that young girls realize all the amazing things women have accomplished throughout history, because, sadly, I don't think they hear enough about it in school, even today. I am happy to say I have heard about most of the women in this book, but there were several that I did not know about and I am so impressed with their strength and courage in the face of great odds. We have to let the young people of today know that anything and everything is possible, and this book is a simple, yet inspiring way to let them know that women have been getting it done forever!\"--\u003cb\u003eMary Engelbreit\u003c\/b\u003e, renowned artist and children's book illustrator\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all A-Z books, this one illustrates the alphabet—but instead of \"A is for Apple\", A is for Angela—as in \u003cb\u003eAngela Davis\u003c\/b\u003e, the iconic political activist. B is for \u003cb\u003eBillie Jean King\u003c\/b\u003e, who shattered the glass ceiling of sports; \u003cb\u003eC is for Carol Burnett\u003c\/b\u003e, who defied assumptions about women in comedy; D is for \u003cb\u003eDolores Huerta\u003c\/b\u003e, who organized farmworkers; and E is for \u003cb\u003eElla Baker\u003c\/b\u003e, who mentored Dr. Martin Luther King and helped shape the Civil Rights Movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the list of great women continues, spanning several centuries, multiple professions, and 26 diverse individuals.
