Learn More about the Book
"Well-behaved women seldom make history." --Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Women Who Broke the Rules celebrates the bold and brave women who have forged their own paths--breaking rules along the way--to help shape our country's past, present, and future. Acclaimed author Kathleen Krull blends history and humor in this accessible young biography series.
Coretta Scott King was an American civil rights activist and the wife of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. But she established a distinguished career in activism in her own right, taking part in the Montgomery Bus Boycott and working to pass the Civil Rights Act. After King's death, she founded the Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, Georgia, and remained dedicated to fighting for civil rights.

"Although it s impossible to talk about her without mentioning her iconic husband, Krull makes sure Coretta remains front and center . . . packed with plenty of information in an engaging, conversational tone, and Freeman s expressive full-color illustrations do a great job of portraying Coretta in a wide variety of moments in her life . . . This slim volume is packed with honest, accurate information and interesting tidbits about an important woman, and it would be a welcome addition to both school and public libraries." "Booklist"
