 *\n\n* "There might be something more exciting than an illustrated alphabet 
 of American heroines both famous and unsung, but I’m not sure what that 
 thing would be. It’s a marvelous, simple idea executed 
 beautifully."—BookRiot\n\n* Like all A-Z books, this one illustrates the 
 alphabet—but instead of "A is for Apple," A is for Angela—as in Angela 
 Davis, the iconic political activist. B is for Billie Jean King, who 
 shattered the glass ceiling of sports and C is for Carol Burnett, who 
 defied assumptions about women in comedy. The list of amazing women goes 
 on, spanning several centuries, multiple professions, and 26 diverse 
 individuals. There are artists and abolitionists, scientists and 
 suffragettes, rock stars and rabble-rousers, and agents of change of all 
 kinds.\n\n* "I feel honored to be included in this book. Women need to take 
 radical steps to become feminists, and to be strong to fight for their 
 rights and those of others facing oppression and discrimination. The world 
 needs rad women to create a just society."—Dolores Huerta, Labor Leader, 
 Civil Rights Activist\n\n* "I need 2 of these books, one to read to all the 
 kids in my life and one to rip the illustrations out of so I can frame 
 them! This MUST HAVE super fun read fills in the missing pieces in so many 
 kids' (and grown-ups') educations. Couldn't recommend it 
 enough."—Kathleen Hanna, singer, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre and The Julie 
 Ruin\n\nThanks for your consideration,\nGabriela\nCity Lights
