I am reviewing a copy of Nothing Could Stop Her through Lerner Publishing Group and Netgalley:

Ruth Gruber was born in to a Jewish American family in Brooklyn, Tim the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn New York, her parents came from Russia, and she was the fourth of five children.  From an early age it became apparent that she was going to do something that made her stand out.  She became the earliest PH.D graduate when she received the degree when she was only twenty.

Ruth Grubber's career as an advocate as well as journalist spanned over seven decades, and several countries, she lived to be 105 dying in 2016.  Her career ed her to places that other reporters wouldn't or couldn't go, from Nazi Germany to the remote Arctic regions of the Soviet Union. At a time when women were expected to stay at home and raise families, Ruth told the stories of people in need and fought for their rights to live in safety and freedom.

Nothing Could Stop Her is a great reminder to girls if all ages that they can be anything they set their minds to!

I give Nothing Could Stop Her five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
