Stories of powerhouse women who pushed for justice in politics, medicine, art, music, religion, tribal leadership, and more. In fighting to pass the 19th Amendment, brave suffragists like Susan B. Anthony and Emmeline B. Wells fought to end laws and take down barriers that prevented them from voting. Champions of Change introduces young readers not only to Anthony and Wells, but also to a diverse group of firsts and freedom-fighters in America’s fight for equality, such as: Zitkala-Sa, co-founder of the National Council of American Indians Martha Hughes Cannon, America’s first female state senator Hannah Kaaepa, an advocate for Hawaiian women’s rights Barbara Toomer, who was jailed 35 times for protests that led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the women of the Kanab Town Council, one of the first all-female city councils in the country. This timely collection of mini biographies highlights 25 champions for justice, includes colorful portraitures of each, and presents actual photos of the individuals.

This completely new selection of Katherine Mansfield's correspondence draws from the five volumes of her Collected Letters currently being published by Clarendon Press, and ranges from the period of her adolescence to shortly before her death twenty years later. The letters, many of which are to John Middleton Murry, Lady Ottoline Morrell, S.S. Koteliansky, the painters Anne Estelle Drey, and Dorothy Brett, as well as her own family, literary friends, and chance aquaintances chart her wide range of writing styles and reveal the vitality, warmth, and wit that places Mansfield among the most poignant and entertaining of modern letterwriters.
