"A breakthrough... this force of nature is becoming one of our
fiercest voices in the new generation of African-American
thinkers." -- Essence Bestselling author Brittney Cooper is a
leading Black feminist voice of our times. From her New York Times

Shelf Book, to her frequent guest appearances on MSNBC, to her
regular features on Cosmopolitan.com and Salon.com, and her TED
Talk with over 800K views, there's no question Brittney Cooper is
one of the most preeminent Black influencers of today. Now, this
author, professor, activist, and cultural critic brings her immense
talents to the children's space with a seven-title publishing deal
at Scholastic, spanning from picture books to middle grade, and
launching with this momentous picture book debut: Stand Up! Stand
Up! tells the story of ten historic female figures who changed the
world by standing up for what's right, including legendary Civil
Rights activists like Ruby Bridges and Rosa Parks and spanning to
contemporary role models like Bree Newsome, who removed the
confederate flag from the South Carolina state house grounds, and
Mari Copeny, a youth activist who fought for clean water in Flint,
Michigan. This inspirational biographical collection will live side
by side with bestselling classics like Little Leaders and She
Persisted yet offers a wholly original, powerful new voice and
approach that make this story so singular, personal, and
groundbreaking. Cooper's enlightening text depicts both famous and
unsung Black women who took a stand and made the world a better
