Bold & Brave

Bold & Brave introduces young readers to ten remarkable women who devoted their lives to winning American women the right to vote — including Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, and lesser-known heroes like Alice Paul and Mary Church Terrell — each accompanied by a bold life lesson distilled from her story, from 'dare to be different' to 'fight together.' Written by U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and brought to life by the gorgeous, distinctive illustrations of celebrated artist Maira Kalman, this picture book is a perfect read for students learning about women's history, suffrage, and civil rights. It is a wonderful choice for any classroom because it makes these ten visionary women feel vivid and real, inspiring young readers — especially girls — to raise their own voices and build a more just world.
