Rise: A Feminist Book Project for Ages 0-18 is a project of the Feminist Task Force of ALA’s Social Responsibilities Round Table. Titles must have been published in the previous 18 months and "move beyond merely 'spunky' and 'feisty' young women, beyond characters and people who fight to protect themselves without concern for the rights of others. Feminist protagonists call out and work to eliminate sexism and other systemic prejudices, actively shaping their destinies. They break bonds forced by society as they defy stereotypical expectations and show resilience in the face of societal strictures. People who are not women can also play an important part in questioning and defying gender and/or sex roles. In addition, feminist books show women solving problems, gaining personal power, and empowering others. They celebrate girls and women as a vibrant, vital force in the world."
