One wouldn’t necessarily expect to see Angela Davis, Carol Burnett and Patti Smith featured in the same book, let alone a children’s book. But that’s partly the goal of Kate Schatz’s “Rad American Women A -Z,” which celebrates radical women of all stripes. Schatz and journalist Niema Jordan join us this hour to celebrate women who have changed the world. And we would like to hear from you: Who would you nominate as a “Rad Woman?” Who are the unsung female heroes in your life that may not end up on the $20 bill but are inspiring nonetheless? What traits do you look for in female role models?
