The enthralling stories of these brave, amazing women—and the stunning illustrations that accompany them—are sure to move and inspire kids and adults alike. We all need this book: girls, boys, mothers, fathers, educators, engaged citizens—really, all of us who care about a more just and balanced world. Thank goodness I don’t have to raise my daughter and son without it!”

“How do you help young girls change the universe? Show them the women who have already done it! This beautiful book shows girls (and boys) the power and importance of each person who decides to make a difference.  A celebration of smart, brave, tough, creative, kind, beautiful, hopeful, and wise women!”
–Andrea Beaty, author of Rosie Revere Engineer and Iggy Peck Architect

“Our history books are filled with incredible stories of heroes and rebels, villains and visionaries, but too often it’s men who occupy all the starring roles. RAD WOMEN WORLDWIDE boldly challenges the male-dominated version of history we’ve been sold, offering us a new vision of the past that brings women out of the historical shadows. In these pages, women are made visible at every step of humanity’s journey, across continents and generations, revealing that often we, too, have dared to change the world.” 
—Anita Sarkeesian, Feminist Frequency founder and feminist media critic

“In past generations, a globe was an essential gift for any child, a way for her/him/them to sense the wide, round scope of the world without even having to travel. RAD WOMEN WORLDWIDE is this moment’s equivalent of the globe–a gift that will help every child understand the world they share with powerful women everywhere.”
—Sarah Jones, Tony-Award winning performer, poet, and UNICEF ambassador 

“Schatz and Stahl are a pair of 21st century Howard Zinns, making the Western canon bawl with this mindblowing, history-expanding, beautifully executed roll call of badass women past and present. Our daughters and son need this book, and so do their parents.”
—Adam Mansbach, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Go the F**k to Sleep 

“Wow! Like it’s predecessor, Rad American Women A to Z, this wonderful book is a browser’s delight. Dipping into every story, examining the blunt, bright woodcuts, brings singular pleasures. There are woman to discover and woman to rediscover. And the best part? A long list of more woman to learn about winding it up. Daring to hope there will be more Rad Women books.”
—Karen Cruze, Santa Clarita Public Library

“Their second well-researched collection of gorgeously detailed paper-cut illustrations is accessible to young readers but fascinating for grown-ups, too. Rad women in this collection are humble, brilliant and theatrical. They pursue human rights as well as women’s rights.” 
—Cheryl Krocker McKeon, manager, Book Passage, San Francisco, in Shelf Awareness
