Well-behaved women seldom make history. -Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Many awe-inspiring women have changed the course of history. From
fighting for social justice and women's rights to discovering and
shaping our amazing country, women have left an indelible mark on our
past, present, and future. But it's not easy to affect change, and these
women didn't always play by the rules to make a difference! Kathleen
Krull blends history and humor in this accessible young biography
series.
Sonia Sotomayor's path, from growing up in the projects to success in
Ivy League universities to her rise in the legal profession is a true
testament to the American dream. She broke the rules women were supposed
to follow in her life and career, ultimately becoming the first Latino
justice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, and the third woman to serve
the Court. Her determined spirit and achievements make her a role model
and an inspiration.
