    About Abzuglutely!

    “As long as people are reading this book, Bella will be with us still.” —Gloria Steinem

    Meet unique and outspoken Bella Abzug, the iconic Jewish politician and activist who fought for justice and women’s rights, in this compelling picture book biography.

    Battling Bella Abzug was born bellowing! From her childhood in the Bronx to her years as a lawyer, activist, wife, mother, and congresswoman, Bella battled for justice and fairness for everyone. Inspired by her Jewish upbringing and wholehearted belief in tikkun olam—repairing the world—she spoke her truth everywhere she went. Even when it wasn’t appreciated. Bella just kept on battling!

    Sarah Aronson and Andrea D’Aquino spotlight this trailblazer who helped kickstart the modern women’s movement—with humor and passion—always in one of her trademark wide-brimmed hats. An unstoppable and unforgettable leader who showed the world a vision for the future—that a woman’s place was in the house—the House of Representatives! Abzuglutely!

    Praise

    “As long as people are reading this book, Bella will be with us still.” —Gloria Steinem

    “A vigorous biography of politician and activist Bella Abzug… D’Aquino’s expressionistic ink, colored pencil, and wax crayon illustrations match Aronson’s verve and admiration, spotlighting Abzug in vivid reds and depicting her in open-mouthed poses to demonstrate her relentless campaigning for social change.  An adoring and inspirational life story, as ardent as its subject.”—Kirkus Reviews

    ★ “As a model of a flamboyant, loudmouthed liberal, it would be hard to top Bella Abzug, and here Aronson does her justice… Could budding activists learn something from her example? Abzuglutely.” – Booklist, starred review

    “The layout of D’Aquino’s child-friendly illustrations and occasional handwritten phrases brings the words to life and makes Abzug’s impact tangible…The book ends with an inspirational call to action for readers in the twenty-first century to help fulfill Abzug’s vision.” –The Horn Book
