Changemakers in Activism: Women Leading the Way

by Artika R. Tyner

Discover how Marian Wright Edelman fought to make life better for children and Greta Thunberg drew international attention with her climate change rallies. Learn about how you can make a difference, too.

Editorial Reviews

"Short spotlights feature brief, straightforward descriptions of the women's causes and accomplishments, accompanied by photos. A few names may be familiar, but many of the featured women, such as Sylvia Mendez, who helped desegregate California schools, and children's rights advocate Madonna Thunder Hawk, may be new to readers."—Booklist
