"This book promises an introduction to 15 women climate champions, but it delivers far more...the women's stories offer hope and inspiration." --Booklist Starred Review


These 15 contemporary climate champions are on the frontlines of science to create a sustainable future on Earth.

They are climate scientists, journalists, professors, academics, researchers, and policy makers from around the world who draft policies with real-world impact, run science labs to find new answers to old problems, and lead organizations at the forefront of change. These women reveal how racial and social injustices lie at the root of the climate crisis.  

Their stories are accessible and energetic, with spotlights on the triumphs and struggles of women who are working to protect the planet.
