Johnson, EdD, associate professor, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi

This important book for readers of all ages introduces women who advocated for themselves and others fighting for suffrage and civil rights, becoming role models for future generations, and entering roles previously dominated by men." --Micheal J. Kessner-McShane, EdD
