Imbokodo: Women Who Shape Us is a groundbreaking series of books
which introduces you to the powerful stories of South African women
who have all made their mark and cleared a path for women and
girls. These books recognise, acknowledge and honour our heroines
and elders from the past and the present. South African women are
silent no more on the roles that we have played in advancing our
lives as artists, storytellers, writers, politicians and
educationists. The title 'Imbokodo' was been chosen as it is a Zulu
word that means "rock" and is often used in the saying 'Wathint'
Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo!', which means "You Strike a Women, You
Strike a Rock!" These books were made possible with the support of
Biblionef and funding from the National Arts Council. In 10
Extraordinary Leaders, Activists & Protesters you will read
about women who fought against colonialism and oppression. Here are
the stories of women heroes through history, whose stories are
connected because of a shared passion for equality and justice.

Miami, in this powerful picture book from Coretta Scott King
medalist Charles R. Smith, Jr. and debut picture book illustrator
Charlot Kristensen. The folks they lined up to meet the Motorcycle
Queen, seated sidesattle on her motorbike machine. In 1929,
18-year-old Bessie Stringfield hopped on her motorcycle and headed
out on an adventure, an unusual choice for a young Black woman at
the time. Paying her way by winning motorcycle races, she
criss-crossed the country through small towns, big cities, and wide
open spaces. But not everyone was happy to see Bessie's brown face
peeking out from underneath her helmet. And more than once, Bessie
found herself making some quick exits on the back of her bike to
escape Jim Crow. A trailblazer in the world of women's racing and
motorcycling, Bessie Stringfield was a figure who will inspire all
children to pursue their dreams. From the first line, award-winning
author Charles R. Smith Jr.'s poetry evokes emotion, excitement,
fear, and wonder in equal measures. Charlot Kristensen portrays
Bessie and the American landscape with vivid imagery that is sure
to capture the attention of young readers. A much-needed story
about a Black woman who paved the way for future generations, for
fans of The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson and My
Papi Has a Motorcycle by Isabel Quintero and Zeke Pe a.
