Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.The lives these women led are part of an incredible story about courage in the face of oppression; about the challenges and triumphs of the battle for civil rights; and about speaking out for what you believe in--even when it feels like no one is listening. Andrea Davis Pinkney's moving text and Stephen Alcorn's glorious portraits celebrate the lives of ten bold women who lit the path to freedom for generations. Includes biographies of Sojournor Truth, Biddy Mason, Harriet Tubman, Ida B.Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Ella Josephine Baker, Dorothy Irene Height, Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Shirley Chisholm.

I love this book! Representation is so important for young children of color, and especially young girls, and this book shows powerful and impactful black women freedom fighters from all times in history.

This is a collect of stories about black women freedom fighters. Each story depicts courage, bravery, honor, pain, and sacrifice. It is important to have in classrooms to teach about the history and the suffering these people once faced to get to where they are now.
