Synopsis

**From the *New York Times* bestselling creative team behind *The ABCs of Black History* comes a statement-making follow-up that celebrates women, their history, and their future by centering the diversity of the disruptors who blazed a path forward for everyone.** In a beautiful picture book brimming with **G** for **Groundbreaking** women**,** National Book Award nominee Rio Cortez and illustrator Lauren Semmer celebrate all the joys, challenges, and historic forward movement of women's history in the United States, with a special focus on the Black women, brown women, transwomen, and others who make change happen. This is a book about **Artists**, **Activists** and **Allies**, about **Civil Rights** and **Choice**, about **Freedom Fighters**, **Headliners**, **Labor** -- and **Librarians!** It's about historic moments-Kamala Harris being sworn in as the first African-American and first Asian-American Vice President of the United States; Title IX passing through Congress; Seneca Falls, where the first women's rights convention was held; the Riot Grrrls movement; and so much more.
*The ABCs of Women's History* is a story of persistence. It's a story of pride. And it's a story of progress. This book celebrates the disruptors, the dreamers, the determined, and the do-it-yourself-ers who continue to inspire the next generation of women to build a brighter, better tomorrow.
