Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale has called teenage Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is our "modern-day Joan of Arc" following her now-famous speech at the United Nations' 2019 Climate Action Summit.
The teen has made news worldwide for her outspoken views on climate change, speaking with multiple world leaders throughout 2019 and and criticizing the lack of environmental change at the recent 2019 United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York.
"Our modern day Joan of Arc. @gretathunberg Thank you for your candor, grace, logic and beautiful anger," wrote Hale in an Instagram caption. "Wield your sword. You are sitting at a round table of young women who have inspired and shaped humanity."
Hale also mentioned several other influential young women who have made impacts across the world including Anne Frank, Malala Yousafzai, Claudette Colvin and author Mary Shelley.
