Shaking Things Up: 14 Young Women Who Changed the World
Susan Hood
A poetry collection introduces fourteen young women whose determination led to change. Its subjects span different eras and fields, including fossil hunter Mary Anning, journalist Nellie Bly, artist Frida Kahlo, astronaut Mae Jemison, architect Maya Lin, activist Malala Yousafzai, and Ruby Bridges. Anning discovers a prehistoric fossil at thirteen, while Bridges is described as helping challenge Southern segregation at age six. Together, the profiles trace distinct paths through science, art, public life, and social change.
