Genius of Common Sense Jane Jacobs and the Story of The Death and Life of Great American Citites by Glenna Lang

4.0

I had completely missed Jane Jacobs until ordering this juvenile nf book for our library system. Now that I've read it, I am looking forward to reading her book about cities, and I have a greater appreciation for the grassroots work she and others she inspired have done to save the personalities of cities. I don't know why it took me so long to find out about her, but I'm glad I did. This book was a very well-written intro to her life and to a real-life woman who was iconoclastic and independent and should be a model for strong girls and women today.
