Praise
"'Those who resist your ambition can only see what has always been instead of what can be,' says Kamala Harris in this captivating sequel to She Spoke. MacMillan and Bernardi here highlight remarkable women and girls and share their transformative stories. Spanning generations and diverse backgrounds, these trailblazers have reshaped the world with their courage and conviction. From the passionate advocacy of Greta Thunberg, who began her crusade at just 15, to the wisdom of Gerda Weissmann Klein, who inspired until the age of 97, every voice is a testament to the power of speaking out. Thorns’s vibrant illustrations, blending paint and digital art, bring these women to life, surrounded by symbols of their causes. Each profile features a poignant quote from the activist as well as a thought-provoking discussion point that encourages readers to consider their own potential impact. VERDICT This book is a vital addition to any nonfiction collection, for anyone seeking inspiration to dream bigger than they thought possible."
