In Madam C.J. Walker Builds a Business, Sarah Breedlove (AKA Madam
C.J. Walker) reinvents and rebrands herself as a forceful
entrepreneur whose products still dominate the black hair care
industry today. Born on the same plantation where her parents were
once enslaved-Sarah is the first child in her family born free.
When Sarah is just a girl, she learns the value of hard work. She
cooks, she cleans, she picks cotton, she does laundry, and she
babysits. By fourteen, Sarah is a wife and by eighteen she is a
mother. From the stress of backbreaking labor and having to grow up
so quickly, Sarah's hair begins to fall out! Instead of falling
into despair, Sarah learns how to take care of her hair and invents
her own recipe to encourage her hair to grow. But Sarah has a
problem. She can't get people to buy her products at first. So, she
rebrands herself as "Madam C.J. Walker," a fancy high society lady
with the authority and know-how to help black women with their
hair. As Madam C.J. Walker, she builds a business empire, dominates
the black hair care market with her natural products, and offers
opportunities for other poor washerwomen in her community to have a
path to financial freedom. With her immense wealth, she treats
herself too. She buys herself cars, fancy dresses, and a mansion
with 34 rooms! This is the story of a leader in the hair care
industry, which is now a multibillion-dollar industry, but it's
also a tale of the importance of empowering women to become
economically independent. After Words includes text on Madam C.J.
Walker's lasting legacy today as well as educational activities on
entrepreneurship.
From the world of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls comes a
historical novel based on the life of Dr. Wangari Maathai, the
Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist and environmentalist from Kenya.
Wangari lives in a magical place in rural Kenya where the soil is
rich for planting, the trees abundant, and the nearby pond full of
mysterious creatures. She drinks from cool, clean streams and plays
beneath her favorite fig tree under her mother's watchful gaze.
Then Wangari grows up and goes away to school, and things start
changing at home. Farmers chop down the trees. Landslides bury the
stream. The pond dries up. The soil becomes overworked, dry, and
unusable for planting. And people go hungry. Dr. Wangari Maathai
has a simple solution to all of these problems: plant trees.
In Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code, Ada uses her incredible
imagination to dream up technology that could have jump-started the
digital age nearly two hundred years ago. In fact, she writes what
will become the world's first programming language. As a child, Ada
is curious about everything. She is obsessed with machines and
creatures that fly, even going so far as to write her own book
about them called "Flyology." Along with her cat, Mistress Puff,
Ada gets into all sorts of trouble. According to her mother, Ada is
a bit too wild and her imagination could benefit from some
discipline, so she puts Ada into a rigorous syllabus of
mathematics, languages, and geography. When Ada comes out in
London's high society, she is invited to the most popular soiree in
town, hosted by the renowned inventor Charles Babbage. It is there
that she encounters a mysterious machine which unlocks a future
full of possibilities. But she can't escape marriage forever, and
soon finds herself a wife with three children. She aches to study
math again, to stand on the same ground as the eccentric inventor
she met so many years ago. She hires tutors to teach her absolutely
everything about math and numbers, before joining Babbage in his
mechanical world. This is the story of a pioneer in the computer
sciences, which is now a multibillion-dollar industry, but it's
also proof that women have the intellectual capacity to make
invaluable contributions to the Science Technology Engineering
& Math world. Also included is further information on Ada's
legacy today and activities based on simple coding and mathematical
concepts.
