Sinopsis	BOLD WOMEN IN BLACK HISTORY - LITTLE LEADERS LITTLE LEADERS: BOLD WOMEN IN BLACK HISTORY is a collection of short bios of accomplished African American women. The bios include women in a wide range of fields -- science, arts, journalism, politics, sports -- who range from popular cultural figures like Oprah Winfrey to activist/scholar Angela Davis. The women are presented chronologically by birth date; the first woman profiled is poet Phillis Wheatley, born in 1753, and the last is gymnast Dominique Dawes, born in 1976. Each profile is paired with a full-page illustration that has a muted background depicting the woman's field.

Parents need to know that Vashti Harrison's Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History offers 40 short bios of African American women who broke ground and distinguished themselves in fields that include science, the arts, sports, and civil rights. The book grew out of an Instagram project Harrison conceived for Black History Month, in which she spotlighted a different accomplished female each day. In the book, each woman's one-page profile is paired with a full-page illustration in which she's pictured as a child. Some figures are toweringly iconic, such as Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks, while others feel fresher, which underscores the richness of the field. An afterword suggests websites, books, films, and recordings for further exploration. Positive messages: Though all of these women faced serious discrimination, they were able to break new ground in their fields. Pursue your passions. Use your talents. Stand up for your rights. There are many African American female trailblazers to celebrate, and more to explore. Edad recomendada: A partir de 8 años.
