      This guide to activism contains all the nuts and bolts necessary to build an effective girl-led campaign for change. Soneela Nankani narrates this activist's how-to guide with the inspirational power of an enthusiastic and empathetic friend. Although the audiobook contains information on the technical aspects of activism--strategies, tactics, resources, organizing, budgets, and more--the narration is never dry. Nankani imparts the anger of the marginalized, the power of the community, and the compassion of the caring. She reads with conviction: "How do things get better? We make them better. We are half the world population, and we demand to be treated equally. That's it. Full stop." Girls will find it hard hard to resist this powerful call to action.

      Starred review from August 6, 2018
      Rich, an activist and assistant advocacy director for the New York Civil Liberties Union, presents an inspiring and practical handbook for meaningful resistance. Rich lays the groundwork for grassroots organizing, first establishing a common language with readers and exploring topics such as power, privilege, inequity, intersectionality, and patriarchy. There are a lot of reasons for girls and women to be mad, she suggests, using the examples of gender stereotypes, the gender wage gap, and societal hypersexualization of girls. Rich encourages readers to home in on the causes that most inspire them to act, and to set clear goals. She details specific steps readers can take to plan rallies, circulate petitions, and raise community awareness about pertinent issues. This pertinent and bold guide—featuring Sagramola’s warm illustrations rendered in blue and orange tones—is likely to become a go-to resource for young activists. Ages 14–up.
