I’m the creator of the New York Times bestselling “Rad Women” book series, along with illustrator Miriam Klein Stahl. Our books—Rad American Women A-Z, Rad Women Worldwide, Rad Girls Can, My Rad Life: A Journal, and Rad American History A-Z— have sold over 250,000 copies and been translated into multiple languages. 

My novel Where the Girls Were is an electrifying historical novel about coming of age in tumultuous 1960s San Francisco. Based on my own mother’s experiences, it tells the story of a pregnant teenager as she reckons with womanhood and agency after being sent to a home for unwed mothers.

Do the Work: An Anti-Racist Activity Book is a New York Times bestselling collaboration with W. Kamau Bell, the Emmy-winning host of CNN’s United Shades of America. It’s a playfully provocative antiracist activity book for adults that’s being used in classrooms, homes, workplaces, DEI course, churches, and more.
