Also by this author: The ABCs of Black HistoryFrom the New York Times bestselling creative team behind The ABCs of Black History comes a statement-making follow-up that celebrates women, their history, and their future by centering the diversity of the disruptors who blazed a path forward for everyone.
In a beautiful picture book brimming with G for Groundbreaking women, 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, with a special focus on the Black women, brown women, transwomen, and others who make change happen. This is a book about Artists, Activists and Allies, about Civil Rights and Choice, about Freedom Fighters, Headliners, Labor -- and Librarians! 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.
I love a good ABC book! If you want to learn about women’s history, then check out The ABC’s of Women’s History by Rio Cortez, illustrated by Lauren Semmer.
It’s loaded with historical and present-day figures that have made change happen in the U.S. It is also full of rhyming and vocabulary. A variety of vocations and areas are covered, so there are more than enough opportunities for kids to find a niche of women’s history they would like to explore more. The glossary in the back of The ABC’s of Women’s History also goes in depth about each figure mentioned as a kickoff to future research.
