Inspired by her own foremothers’ legacies, debut author Rozella Kennedy centers and celebrates the life stories of 100 Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous women—both famous and little-known—who changed the course of US history.
Featuring women of color changemakers, risk-takers, and visionaries, artists, scientists, activists, and more, Our Brave Foremothers is a rich collection of short biographies detailing the women’s accomplishments, hardships, passions, and joys. Included alongside the stories are inspirational quotes from the women, beautifully detailed artwork by illustrator Joelle Avelino, and actionable prompts that encourage readers to impact the world around them in positive ways as a tribute to the foremothers in the book and their own.
