Hi! I’m Kate Schatz. I’m a feminist author, activist, public speaker, and radical history lover. I’m also a freelance writer, consultant, teacher, and idea-generator.

I’m the creator of the New York Times bestselling Rad Women book series, along with illustrator Miriam Klein Stahl. Our books Rad American Women A-Z, Rad Women Worldwide, Rad Girls Can, My Rad Life: A Journal, and Rad American History A-Z have sold over 250,000 copies and been translated into multiple languages. 


Do the Work: An Anti-Racist Activity Book is a New York Times bestselling collaboration with W. Kamau Bell, the Emmy-winning host of CNN’s United Shades of America. It’s a playfully provocative antiracist activity book for adults that’s being used in classrooms, homes, workplaces, DEI course, churches, and more. Order your copy/ies here!

I speak, write, and consult on a range of topics, including feminist histories (and futures!); social and racial justice; radical children’s books; practical activism; and how white people can be less racist, and more human. I also brainstorm, coach, converse, curate, develop, edit, ideate, moderate, research, teach, and tutor.
