A source of inspiration for young women with strong social convictions, She Takes a Stand highlights 16 extraordinary women who have fought for human rights, civil rights, workers' rights, reproductive/sexual rights, and world peace. Included are historic heroes such as anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Among these are many who have been imprisoned, threatened, or suffered financial hardships for pursuing their missions to change the world for the better.
Taking a multicultural, multinational perspective, She Takes a Stand spotlights brave women around the world with an emphasis on childhood Wells and suffragist Alice Paul, along with contemporary figures such as girls-education activist Malala Yousafzai; Sampat Pal Devi, who fights violence against Indian women; and SPARK executive director Dana Edell, who works to end the sexualization of women and girls in the media.
