I love to learn new things, and when those new things involve strong, brave women, so much the better! Many people are familiar with the fact that Golda Meir was the fourth Prime Minister of the State of Israel, and only the THIRD woman ever to be elected a modern head of state. What they may not know, though, was that this amazing woman actually grew up in Europe and the United States, and was a budding young social activist long before she was a stateswoman!! "Goldie Takes A Stand! Golda Meir's First Crusade" (2014) by Barbara Krasner, illustrated by Kelsey Garrity-Riley, tells the story of how as a schoolgirl in Milwaukee, young Goldie organised her friends and classmates, mostly fellow immigrants, to help buy textbooks for other immigrant kids who couldn't afford them, in order to help them gain a headstart on a better life. A wonderfully positive tale of community, this is exactly what I think of when I think of this month's RwR Book Club theme of bold women and girls.
