E118: Celebrating Women’s Voices: She Spoke Too with Kathy MacMillan & Manuela Bernardi

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Kathy MacMillan and Manuela Bernardi about their books: She Spoke: 14 Women Who Raised Their Voices and Changed the World and She Spoke Too: 14 More Women Who Raised Their Voices and Changed the World.

These multi-modal books are both a celebration and a call to action and feature 28 actual, literal voices of women making change in addition to the beautiful narrative inside. Reading and listening gave me goosebumps and I'm thrilled to talk with them on the podcast today. 

Come listen as we talk about their individual backstories, how they came together to collaborate on this series, how they narrowed down their choices from so many influential women and what they hope the book encompasses. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/04/07/celebrating-womens-voices-she-spoke-too-with-kathy-macmillan-manuela-bernardi/
