And yet it remains as challenging for an American girl to make today as it was in 1927 on the steps of the Supreme Court. It's a decision that must be faced when you're balancing on the tightrope of neurodivergence, finding your way as a second-generation immigrant, or facing down American racism even while loving America. And it's the \u003ci\u003eonly\u003c\/i\u003e decision when you've weighed society's expectations and found them wanting. In \u003ci\u003eThe Radical Element, \u003c\/i\u003e twelve of the most talented writers working in young adult literature today tell the stories of girls of all colors and creeds standing up for themselves and their beliefs -- whether that means secretly learning Hebrew in early Savannah, using the family magic to pass as white in 1920s Hollywood, or singing in a feminist punk band in 1980s Boston. And they're asking you to join them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOriginal stories by: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDahlia Adler\u003cbr\u003eErin Bowman\u003cbr\u003eDhonielle Clayton\u003cbr\u003eSara Farizan\u003cbr\u003eMackenzi Lee\u003cbr\u003eStacey Lee\u003cbr\u003eAnna-Marie McLemore\u003cbr\u003eMeg Medina\u003cbr\u003eMarieke Nijkamp\u003cbr\u003eMegan Shepherd\u003cbr\u003eJessica Spotswood\u003cbr\u003eSarvenaz Tash\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica Spotswood \u003c\/b\u003eis the editor of \u003ci\u003eA Tyranny of Petticoats, \u003c\/i\u003ethe companion volume to \u003ci\u003eThe Radical Element. \u003c\/i\u003eShe grew up near the Gettysburg battlefield, in Pennsylvania, but now lives in Washington, D.C., where she works for the District of Columbia Public Library system as a children's library associate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 24, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Radical Element: 12 Stories of Daredevils, Debutantes, and Other Dauntless Girls\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771716469024,"sku":"9781536208665","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/68a679da3416b78e71e8682a97f231df.webp?v=1780391556","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-radical-element-12-stories-of-daredevils-debutantes-other-dauntless-girls-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
