who had lots of radical Big Ideas but then Mary Shelley was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and Stanley Godwin who also had lots of big ideas.

An activist who believed in deeds not words - Rosa Parks was not going to give up her seat on the bus. This led to the 382 day Montgomery Bus Boycott and eventually down the road a Supreme Court decision that bus segregation was unconstitutional.
There is no mention on the cards to the illustrator however I think it may be the Ukrainian children's book illustrator Yulia Zolotova as my Google search turned up a series of books by Mary Nhin called 'Mini movers and shakers' which has an illustration of a similar style. I like to think the book cover of Rosa Parks was the 'before' and this postcard the 'after'.

These cards are so cute! I like the Rosa Park in pink.
Great motivational quotes.
I like the style of these postcards. A very nice series, and uplifting quotations!
These are such cute illustrations. And the short messages say a lot about each of these women.
