- World shakers : inspiring women activists / by Wolfe, Helen,1953-2022.;
"What does it take to change the world?

Sometimes, they used their voice, like disability rights activist Judy Heumann, and Alicia Garza, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter. Sometimes, they led by example, like the STEM-loving Afghan Dreamers. All of them had the courage to shake the world and make a path for other women to follow."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Women political activists; Women social reformers; Women; Women;
