Kate Schatz is een schrijfster, redactrice en docente wier werk zich richt op thema's als feminisme en vrouwengeschiedenis. Haar schrijven kenmerkt zich door een scherpe focus op het belang van vrouwelijke stemmen en hun plaats in de geschiedenis, waarbij ze vaak onderzoekt hoe deze verhalen worden verteld en herontdekt. Door haar literaire bijdragen beoogt Schatz inspirerende vrouwelijke figuren en hun impact door de generaties heen te vieren en onder de aandacht te brengen. Haar benadering is zowel analytisch als vierend, en biedt lezers een dieper begrip van de vrouwelijke erfenis.

From the New York Times best-selling authors of Rad Women Worldwide and Rad American Women A-Z, a bold and brave collection of stories and art about inspiring and accomplished girls who have made positive impacts on the world before the age of 20. You might know the stories of Malala Yousafzai, Anne Frank, Jazz Jennings, and Joan of Arc. But have you heard about Yusra Mardini, a Syrian refugee who swam a sinking boat to shore, saved twenty lives, then went on to compete as an Olympic swimmer? Or Trisha Prabhu, who invented an anti-cyberbullying app at age 13? Or Barbara Rose Johns, whose high school protest helped spark the civil rights movement? In Rad Girls Can, you'll learn about a diverse group of young women who are living rad lives, whether excelling in male-dominated sports like boxing, rock climbing, or skateboarding; speaking out against injustice and discrimination; expressing themselves through dance, writing, and music; or advocating for girls around the world. Each profile is paired with the dynamic paper-cut art that made the authors' first two books New York Times best sellers. Featuring both contemporary and historical figures, Rad Girls Can offers hope, inspiration, and motivation to readers of all ages and genders.
