What started out as an introductory book for teens, has morphed into a set of stories and sentiments about the continued search for gender equality through the ages. A Teenager's Guide to Feminism</em> is aimed at helping today's youth navigate the necessary but sometimes controversial topics surrounding what it means to be a feminist or a woman in modern society. Essays, letters, and poems range in topic from things we wish we could go back to tell our teenage selves, hopes and dreams for the future, and things we would tell our mothers and the other strong women who shaped us. From discussions of the changing ideologies around what it means to identify as a woman, to sexuality, beauty standards, and self-expression in a post #metoo world, this book shares stories of all kinds of love, coming of age, resilience, admiration, determination and advice to carry on. Most of all, it's a book to be shared, designed to encourage readers to define their own ideas of feminism and the female experience in an ever-changing world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"A Teenager's Guide to Feminism</em> is an intergenerational collection of poems, essays, and thought pieces on feminism by a diverse group of authors. It's artful, intersectional, and poignant. Anyone, not just teenagers, can benefit from reading and thinking deeply on the works in this collection." - Erin Moynihan, author of <em>Laurel Everywhere</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>"A Teenager's Guide to Feminism</em> is what I needed to read in high school and perhaps my first year in college. Sometimes you don't know what life has in store for you until you keep on living. Then, there are times when you come across women before you who can give you insight on how to make the trip a bit easier. This is that book. It is truly a guide; a big sister or favorite cousin who will always tell you the truth. There is something beautiful to learn here-at any age.<em>" </em>- Camari Carter Hawkins, author of <em>Death by Comb</em> </p><p></p><p>"What a joy it was to have been introduced to these magnificent voices championing women, young girls, and feminism, which benefits everyone regardless of gender. No topic is off limits and the reader is better for it. Through these carefully crafted poems, essays and letters we learn to be vulnerable, resilient and constantly engaged in how we can make the lives of other young women and girls better by excavating the joys and sorrows of our own experiences. I turned each page with anticipation and admiration as some of the voices are teenagers just coming into their own awareness and they are already ready to take on the world with fierce determination. The voices of the elder women are a beautiful reminder that the world will try to swallow you, but you can fight back and be a survivor and someone who thrives. Bravo to all of these amazing writers and the editors who brought them to us all." - Benin Lemus (she/her) writer, teacher-librarian </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
