The bestselling author and activist behind Rad American Women: Rebels, Trailblazers, and Visionaries Who Shaped Our History . . . and Our Future! shared stories of “rad” or “radical” women and girls who’ve used their voices to make a big impact, via spoken word poetry, blogging, social media, and more. With Kate Schatz, Jules Spector (teen feminist blogger), Elena Ruiz (teen spoken word champion and rockstar), Michaela Pecot (teen poet).
