The inspiring story of Clara Lemlich, whose fight for equal rights led to the largest strike by women in American history
A gorgeously told novel in verse written with intimacy and power, Audacity is inspired by the real-life story of Clara Lemlich, a spirited young woman who emigrated from Russia to New York at the turn of the twentieth century and fought tenaciously for equal rights. Bucking the norms of both her traditional Jewish family and societal conventions, Clara refuses to accept substandard working conditions in the factories on Manhattan's Lower East Side. For years, Clara devotes herself to the labor fight, speaking up for those who suffer in silence. In time, Clara convinces the women in the factories to strike, organize, and unionize, culminating in the famous Uprising of the 20,000.
Powerful, breathtaking, and inspiring, Audacity is the story of a remarkable young woman, whose passion and selfless devotion to her cause changed the world.

This is a beautifully written story. I am using this with a group of high school students who are learning about child labor and immigration. It has been well received by all of the students. Everyone is impressed by the amount of information and emotion in the use of writing the story as a poem. It demonstrates the power of words and in this odd day and age, that powerful stories can be told in many formats.Product details

Audacity Melanie Crowder 9780147512499 Books Reviews
Prose is such a grand way to invite a reader to want more. I admire anyone who is able to say more with efficient use of words. Melanie has accomplished this with Audacity. This does not even touch on the beautiful topic she choose about workers rights, particularly working women's rights. Sadly, something which has yet to be resolved world wide.
Audacity is a true work of art. The lyrical telling of the story is at times gorgeous, vivid, gut wrenching, and inspiring. Anyone who appreciates historical novels MUST read this!
I haven't read a lot of novels in verse, but I love poetry and I love YA and historical novels, so this was a win-win-win for me. Crowder's poetry is lyrical but easy to read. The pages flew by as we saw Clara grow and become this firebrand of a woman. The end also has a brief biography and interviews with Clara's surviving family members.
A brilliant read. It deserves all the starred reviews it's been receiving!
I wasn't thrilled when our book club chose this book to read; poetry is not my thing. I was encouraged by a friend to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. It was a quick read, literally a page-turner. The story of Clara grabbed me from the first pages. As an added bonus, I got to meet delightful Melanie Crowder at a lecture, and was enthralled by the details of her research, including speaking to some of Clara's descendants. What a wonderful book to share with your teenage daughters or granddaughters!
This is an extraordinarily satisfying read. The free verse form of poetry
made the book pull the reader further into the story and the character.
At first I didn't think that I would be hooked into the telling of this true
account but it was riveting and a must read by a larger group of
readers. Bravo Melanie for this superb work.
This was a beautiful, short, incredibly powerful read and exactly the reminder I needed about how organizing and activism works. This is a wonderful book for young adults, but I was inspired by it as an adult. Highly recommended.
I wasn’t sure I was going to like the poem style format, but it worked so well for this story that made you proud to know Clara. The interviews and info at the end of the book gave more insight into her, although I had already looked her up on Wikipedia,but there was so much more info at the end of the book. Should have included the Rugelach recipe
