The ongoing struggle for women's rights has spanned human history, touched nearly every culture on Earth, and encompassed a wide range of issues, such as the right to vote, work, get an education, own property, exercise bodily autonomy, and beyond. Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists is a fun and fascinating graphic novel-style primer that covers the key figures and events that have advanced women's rights from antiquity to the modern era. In addition, this compelling book illuminates the stories of notable women throughout history--from queens and freedom fighters to warriors and spies--and the progressive movements led by women that have shaped history, including abolition, suffrage, labor, civil rights, LGBTQ liberation, reproductive rights, and more. Examining where we've been, where we are, and where we're going, Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists is an indispensable resource for people of all genders interested in the fight for a more liberated future.
Great illustrations and good info. Exceptional illustrations and a nice cross-section of historical figures. I enjoyed the book and learned a bunch. I’m impressed with the work and style of the book.Lived up to my high expectations! I was looking forward to this so much that I pre-ordered it, and for the most part it lived up to my extremely (possibly unfairly) high expectations.This book covers a *lot* of ground and many many women and events, so it can't go into much depth about any of them and it can't touch on everything, due to space constraints. It will probably whet your appetite for more. That's a good thing, even if it's mildly frustrating! This is meant to be a primer and it is one. Some parts are USA-heavy which was fine with me because that's where I live, and so do the authors.The pages feel nice and sturdy and the artwork is solid, with an especially gorgeous cover. The graphic novel format really worked for me, and I think my kids will want to read it because of that. This book doesn't shy away from tough topics and some violence is shown in the artwork, but not in a scary or glorifying way.I found some of the transitions and jumping around a bit jarring, but I also can't think of a better way to cover so much material succinctly. Overall the framing device works well: we virtually travel through time and around the world along with a class learning women's history from a futuristic, personified AI program. The students pose questions to the AI and talk a bit with each other, too, but most of the text is the AI character narrating historical events and giving brief biographies.I wish this book included pronunciation guides for names, both for read-aloud purposes and just for my own edification. Maybe as footnotes in a future edition? I appreciate the index at the back and can envision this being used as a classroom and family resource, as well as being readable as a story. It's not easy to accomplish both of those things in one book, but this one balances them well, and looks good doing it. I hope there is a sequel soon.Engaging and full of women my history books left out I pre-ordered this book and was so excited to read it I finished it in the first day. Now I look forward to going back and re-reading and researching more into people I was introduced to in this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the text is engaging. This book has a great feel - I like the weight of the pages. I love that there’s an index for reference. I’m buying copies for folks for Christmas.
