Modern HERstory: Stories of Women and Nonbinary People Rewriting History Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Blair Imani (Author, Narrator), Tegan and Sara - foreword (Author), January LaVoy (Narrator),

An inspiring and radical celebration of 70 women, girls, and gender nonbinary people who have changed - and are still changing - the world, from the Civil Rights Movement and Stonewall riots through Black Lives Matter and beyond.

With a radical and inclusive approach to history, Modern HERstory profiles and celebrates 70 women and nonbinary champions of progressive social change in a bold audiobook for all ages.

Despite making huge contributions to the liberation movements of the last century and today, all of these trailblazers come from backgrounds and communities that are traditionally overlooked and under-celebrated: not just women, but people of color, queer people, trans people, disabled people, young people, and people of faith.

Authored by rising star activist Blair Imani, Modern HERstory tells the important stories of the leaders and movements that are changing the world right here and right now - and will inspire you to do the same.

I bought this book for my daughter and every other day we start off with reading about one of these women, we then research said woman online. It's important to me that she has modern women to look up to as well as historical women and it's helping to teach her more about the areas these women are involved in and giving her a greater understanding of what she is capable of when she becomes an adult.

I love everything about Blair Imani's book. I appreciate that Imani has rewritten history by telling the truth through inclusion. Patriarchy has given white men credit in history.

Love it and share it with the 5th and 6th grade girls I work with. Great place to start a casual talk about discrimination, achievements, challenges, and identity. The book is made well and the colors are vibrant and beautiful. It just skims the lives of the women featured so it's not good if you are looking for in depth biographies. The types of women it features is diverse and well rounded in their contributions to society.

I purchased this book book as a birthday present for my 11 year old cousin. She loved it. Everyday after school she would read a chapter and then tell her parents about it. I may purchase a copy for myself.

Beautifully written, illustrated, and designed, HERstory should be required reading in all public schools. All schools, really. Actually, EVERYONE should just read it and then pass it down to their kids or kinfolk.

An amazing collection of stories of some of the greatest contributors to this country I hadn’t known. I was familiar with a couple, but not most, of the brilliant and brave people in this book.
