Young and Restless: The Girls Who Sparked America’s Revolutions

"Claudette Colvin. Anna Elizabeth Dickinson. Mabel Ping-Hua Lee. Alice de Rivera. You may not know these names, but you certainly know the revolutions they sparked – for equal rights, for abolition, for equal access to the ballot, for gender equality in schools. They are just a few of the fearless teenage girls whose defiance and determination changed the world. This riveting and well-researched book invites us to reexamine the history we’ve been taught and to view teenage girls as a powerful force for change."
