Schatz hopes the series will continue to foster a more diverse perspective on U.S. Rad Women Worldwide is slated to come out in 2016. The success of their first book inspired Schatz and Stahl to make a second one, this time with an international focus. “That was a really powerful point for him to make.” “He very kindly pointed out that I identity her as the ‘first female chief of the Cherokee Nation’ and that - while that’s true by modern, Western notions of leadership - Cherokee women have been in leadership positions for many years,” Schatz explains. One important correction came from someone who worked on a documentary about the book’s entry for the letter “W,” Wilma Mankiller. In fact, she says most of the criticism she received was constructive. When asked about the reaction to the book, Schatz says she’s been pleasantly surprised with the positive response. Surprisingly, Rad American Women hasn’t received the harsh criticism that women-centered projects often get from anonymous “critics” online.

Teachers are using the book in classrooms to supplement historically male-centric textbooks. It hit number five on The New York Times’ best-seller list and is still going strong four months after its release.

That’s exactly what Kate Schatz and Miriam Klein Stahl set out to do with Rad American Women A-Z. And when women aren’t happy with that (sexist) answer - or when we point out that media with small marketing budgets won’t sell well regardless of gender - we’re told to make our own movies.
In 2014, only 12 percent of the top-grossing films had female protagonists. All too often, women are told that stuff about girls doesn’t sell.

After years of outrage over the lack of female representation in superhero films, all we got was the promise of a Wonder Woman movie for 2017 and a Captain Marvel movie for 2018. The hunt for women-centered movies, television, and books continues to be an uphill battle in the United States and across the world.
