O ovoj e-knjizi

Ten biographies of women reformers from around the world who have made a difference in the realms of politics, social equality, disability, and womenÕs rights. The biographies move us from the work of abolitionist Sojourner Truth and women such as South AfricaÕs anti-apartheid activist Ruth First to AmericaÕs feminist leader Gloria Steinem. Also included are Michelle Douglas, a campaigner for lesbian and gay rights, and Temple Grandin, advocate for the rights of animals and a woman who has revolutionized the way the world looks at people with autism. Canadians included are Leilani Muir, whose groundbreaking case against the Alberta Government led to redress for hundreds of Canadians who had been sterilized while in institutions, and Shannen Koostachin, a young woman from the Cree community of Attawapiskat who fought for the right of all children to have equal access to adequate schools. The collection of biographies is rounded out with the stories of FranceÕs Olympe de Gouges, IndiaÕs Sarojini Naidu, and American anti-war activist Joan Baez.
