Join us for a conversation with history alumna and best-selling author Mikki Kendall (BA, '05). We will discuss her graphic novel, Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists: A Graphic History of Women's Fight for their Rights. This compelling book illuminates the stories of notable women throughout history—from queens and freedom fighters to warriors and spies—and the progressive movements led by women that have shaped history, including abolition, suffrage, labor, civil rights, LGBTQ liberation, reproductive rights, and more.
The first 30 people to register for the event by April 13 will receive a free copy of the book. Sign up here.
