Astra Publishing House A Take-Charge Girl Blazes a Trail to Congress:
Book SynopsisFor take-charge girls in the making and fans of I Dissent and Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice, this is the story of Jeannette Rankin, the first US congresswoman.Jeannette Rankin was always a take-charge girl. Whether taking care of horses or her little brothers and sisters—Jeannette knew what to do and got the job done. That’s why, when she saw poor children living in bad conditions in San Francisco, she knew she had to take charge and change things.But in the early twentieth century, women like Jeannette couldn’t vote to change the laws that failed to protect children. Jeannette became an activist and led the charge, campaigning for women’s right to vote. And when her home state, Montana, gave women that right, Jeannette ran for Congress and became America’s first congressWOMAN!Trade Review★ “This lively biography showcases one tireless activist, Jeannette Rankin from Montana, who became the first U.S. congresswoman in 1916 and whose fight for all women to have the right to vote was key in ratifying the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. Rankin’s story is made relatable to young readers through Woelfle's focus on how 'take-charge' she was, starting as a child...The section on Rankin’s campaign for Congress, in which she crisscrossed 6,000 miles of Montana by train and horse, is riveting. The illustrations, done in colored pencils and acrylic inks, jauntily convey period detail.”—Booklist, starred review“Woelfle wisely begins the narrative in Rankin’s youth, then leads into her suffragist activism and her political career...The text as a whole grounds Rankin’s ambitions in her determination to advocate for children, and such framing will likely make the book more accessible to young readers, as will the energetic illustrations. Gibbon’s acrylic ink and colored pencil pictures have a homespun, folk-art quality to them, offering readers depictions of Rankin’s early life...A yes vote for this title’s inclusion on children’s bookshelves.”—Kirkus Reviews“'Take-charge girl’ Jeanette Rankin…inspires in this lively, quote-filled picture book about her journey to become the first U.S. congresswoman. Woefle narrates with a conversational tone that makes Rankin feel accessible… [and] Rankin exudes confidence in quaint acrylic ink and colored pencil artwork.” —Publishers Weekly“As a group read-aloud, this book could be followed by a discussion of dreams among the participants. Just as Jeannette did, young people could envision the steps from smaller goals to larger goals, creating the greatest possible impact. Early elementary children will enjoy the story and the lovely illustrations, while upper elementary children will recognize connections to social studies, politics, and modern-day activism.” —Friends Journal

Behrman House Inc.,U.S. Rose Schneiderman bio (TBD)
Book Synopsis"An inspiring portrait of a woman committed to making a difference and whose influence is still felt to this day." --Kirkus Reviews A young Jewish immigrant from Poland, Rose Schneiderman went to work in a cap factory in New York City when she was just thirteen years old. She saw that women workers earned much less than men, that the factory was cold and dirty, without even clean water for the workers to drink. Rose spoke up for better conditions, and organized 20,000 women to walk out, leaving factories all over the city empty and still. Following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, Rose's speech at the Metropolitan Opera House galvanized support for better working conditions. The International Ladies Garment Workers Union was born.Includes historical photos and bibliography, plus a note to families about tikkun olam, repairing the world, a core element of Jewish tradition.Trade ReviewOne powerful voice can effect powerful change. Polish Jewish immigrant Rose Schneiderman was 8 when she arrived in New York City with her parents in the late 19th century. Even as a child, she loved talking and arguing about ideas. At age 13, she left school to help support her family, finding employment in a hat factory. In early-20th-century New York, this meant buying her own sewing machine and enduring long hours in dirty, unsafe, and unfair working conditions. Having kept silent for fear of losing her much-needed job, Rose finally spoke up upon learning women earned less than men; organizing female co-workers to protest as a group was key, and some conditions improved, including wage increases. This victory of sorts eventually led to others. In 1909, Rose led a massive strike for factory workers’ rights. As time went on, more employees, employers, then journalists and politicians heeded this woman of small stature (only 4-foot-9) and big voice, and factory conditions continued to improve, particularly after her rousing address at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House. This is a quiet, respectful, stirring look at a courageous workers’ rights champion, written in straightforward, accessible prose. The simple illustrations are cast mostly in brown shades, reflecting the somberness of poverty and dire labor practices. (This book was reviewed digitally.) An inspiring portrait of a woman committed to making a difference and whose influence is still felt to this day. (more about Rose Schneiderman, author's note) (Picture-book biography. 5-8) --Kirkus ReviewsA diminutive red-headed immigrant to the United States who began working full-time when she was thirteen years old: Rose Schneiderman may seem an unlikely heroine or someone destined to improve the lives of her fellow workers, but Rose certainly didn’t know that. Nor did she anticipate that the sweatshop that employed her and many other women would be freezing in the winter, sweltering in the summer, and filthy all the time. Sanitation was not a priority — rats were everywhere — and danger was a constant. Rose also noticed that women were routinely paid less than men. Her determination to improve conditions for all workers led this young visionary on a path toward a remarkable career.The International Ladies Garment Workers Union, which helps employees receive benefits and equitable treatment, is one result of Rose’s activism. She is a role model for today’s young people.Although Rose Spoke Out is a picture book aimed at kids who are five through eight, older children and adults will find the story fascinating, too. The art evokes the era, enhancing the reader’s overall experience. The book concludes with historical photographs and a note about tikkun olam, or making the world a better place. --The Jewish Book Council

Thoughtful, accessible essays provide social background while introducing songwriters and performers associated with eight areas of activism ... Expect lots of interest, humming, and sing-alongs."—Booklist STARRED Review“Music is often so bound up with being a teenager. So is rebellion.

Warner proves to be a deft writer who has so much passion for her source material and delivers a powerful guide to some of music’s most pivotal moments and artists, highlighting their impact on climate justice, racial and gender equality, and 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. This is a terrific and visually gorgeous resource, appealing to readers of all ages."—Lindsay Wong, author of The Woo-Woo and Tell Me Pleasant Things About ImmortalityTable of ContentsIntroductionTalkin’ Bout a RevolutionEarth RevolutionClimate Justice, the Environment, and Land BackIndigenous Existence Is ResistanceDecolonization and Indigenous RightsFight the PowerLiberation, Civil Rights, and Racial JusticeNothing About Us Without UsAccessibility, Acceptance, and Disability RightsI Was Born This WayPride, Protest, and 2SLGBTQIA+ RightsRespectGender Equality, Nonbinary Folks, and Inclusive FeminismGive Peace a ChanceThe Anti-War Movement and the Dream of PeaceStand By MeHuman Rights, Dignity, Liberty, and EqualityAcknowledgmentsFurther ReadingSelected SourcesPhoto CreditsIndexAbout the Author and Illustrator

Book SynopsisWhat if your country is involved in an unjust war, and you’ve lost trust in your own government? It's 1968, and the Vietnam War has brought new urgency to the life of Billie Taylor, a seventeen-year-old aspiring photojournalist. Billie is no stranger to risky situations, but when she attends a student protest at Columbia University with her college boyfriend, and the US is caught up in violent political upheaval, her mother decides to move the two of them to Canada. Furious at being dragged away from her beloved New York City to live in a backwater called Toronto, Billie doesn’t take her exile lightly. As her mother opens their home to draft evaders and deserters, Billie’s activism grows in new ways. She discovers an underground network of political protesters and like minds in a radical group based in Rochdale College, the world’s first “free” university. And the stakes rise when she is exposed to horrific images from Vietnam of the victims of Agent Orange – a chemical being secretly manufactured in a small town just north of Toronto. Suddenly she has to ask herself some hard questions. How far will she go to be part of a revolution? Is violence ever justified? Or does standing back just make you part of the problem?

Guppy Publishing Ltd Activist
Book SynopsisWhen a heartbreaking testimony appears on an anonymous website, it's easier for Cassie's prestigious school to dismiss the accusations than to face the truth: that this is a place where the students aren't safe. As more survivors speak out, Cassie and her friends realise that they must take the situation into their own hands if they want anything to change, no matter the consequences. Cassie goes to a prestigious academic school where girls have only just been admitted after decades of it being single-sex. When a female student from the school anonymously posts about the sexual abuse she has suffered and the school does not act properly, Cassie knows that she needs to take matters into her own hands. She and her friends prepare for battle - with a strike, an assembly, as well as outside school spending their weekends protesting to save the woodland from development. But will her activism only make things worse, or will she succeed in righting the wrongs that so many choose to ignore? And could there be a more personal reason for her behaviour? A powerful, timely verse novel about the need to act and stand up for what's right.Trade ReviewA raw, unflinching verse novel for 14+ filled with white-hot, justified rage * Guardian *There is disillusionment and frustration alongside the desire to improve the world, and an awareness that speaking up is often punished.
