Description

Audacity is a powerful and inspiring novel in verse that tells the story of Clara Lemlich, a spirited young woman who fought tirelessly for equal rights. In 1916, Clara emigrated from Russia to New York and refused to accept substandard working conditions in the factories on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

Bucking the norms of her traditional Jewish family and societal conventions, Clara devoted herself to the labor fight, speaking up for those who suffered in silence. Her determination culminated in the famous Uprising of the 20,000, a landmark event that changed the lives of thousands of women.

This beautifully written book is a testament to Clara's passion and selfless devotion to her cause. With its intimate and powerful storytelling, Audacity is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in history, social justice, or the struggles of everyday people.
