On January 3rd, 2019, the 116th Congress convened with a record-breaking 125 women in its ranks. While that might be a number to celebrate, we still have a long way to go toward equitable political representation: Men still hold 76% of House seats. Award-winning author Mikki Kendall’s newest book, Amazons, Abolitions, and Activists: A Graphic History of Women’s Fight for Their Rights, couldn’t be more timely. Her full-color, beautifully illustrated book details the triumphs and challenges of women across centuries and cultures. In conversation with Jill Hopkins-Olewnik, host of the The Morning Amp on Vocalo Radio, Kendall will share stories about the achievements of a diverse group of women, providing the perfect way to celebrate women past, present, and future.
