Girls Resist!: A Guide to Activism, Leadership, and Starting a Revolution

Gr 7 Up—A immensely valuable guidebook for young women seeking to make a difference. Rich effortlessly breaks down complex strategies and concepts into practical know-how. The first chapter, titled "Power Up the Girl Resistance," lays out the groundwork and explains the history of feminism, including defining key terms. The text then succinctly moves through choosing a cause, spreading awareness, and being a catalyst for change. Rich addresses the importance of intersectionality and early on invites readers to check their privilege and determine their biases. Rich also provides a great number of templates, from a budget and expenses table to a sample press release, that readers could easily adapt for their own uses. The book's design, along with Sagramola's confident cartoon girls, is fresh looking and nicely favors muted colors.
