- Description
- Charlotte Carmichael Stopes (1841-1929) was the first woman in Scotland to gain a university qualification. She devoted her life to the study of Shakespeare and to the promotion of women in public life. Though Charlotte is largely forgotten, her daughter Marie Carmichael Stopes (1880-1958) is well known as a passionate advocate of sex education and women’s rights. In this study Green asserts that Marie’s success can only be understood in relation to the achievements of her mother.

- Description
- Kohl is retelling the story of Rosa Parks (1913-2005) - a civil rights activist - and the Montgomery bus boycott (1955), in order to prove that Parks was not a poor, uneducated seamstress who acted on impulse and emotion rather than with intelligence and moral conviction. An extensive teachers' resource guide to educational materials about Parks and the civil rights movement is included.
