You are listening to Two Zero Q – 20 Questions With Interesting People, where we learn the 'Origin Story' of Author Rio Cortez
From the New York Times bestselling creative team behind The ABCs of Black History comes a statement-making follow-up that celebrates women, their history, and their future. THE ABC’S OF WOMEN’S HISTORY by Rio Cortez and Lauren Semmer centers on the diversity of the disruptors who blazed a path forward for everyone, for readers aged 5 and up.
I spoke with Rio about her life, her work and her influences.
In a beautiful picture book in verse brimming with G for Groundbreaking women, National Book Award nominee Rio Cortez and illustrator Lauren Semmer celebrate all the joys, challenges, and historic forward movement of American women’s history, with a special focus on the Black women, brown women, transwomen, and other changemakers.
The ABCs of Women's History is perfect for providing a conversation starter about equality, women’s rights, and the brilliant women who shape our world. It’s about historic moments—Kamala Harris being sworn in as the first African-American and first Asian-American Vice President of the United States; Title IX passing through Congress; Seneca Falls, where the first women’s rights convention was held; the Riot Grrrls movement; and so much more. The book is complete with backmatter that shares the details and historical context of the women featured.
Rhymes and rhythm move readers energetically through the selected milestones and figures...A rainbow of hues and variations of composition and perspective keep the art fresh and eye-catching... An inclusive and inspiring look at significant aspects of women’s history.―Kirkus Reviews
