Our Stories, Our Voices: 21 YA Authors Get Real about Injustice, Empowerment, and Growing Up Female in America by Amy Reed, Julie Murphy

5.0

“i do not forgive a culture where masculinity is defined by conquest. I do not forgive the culture that forces girls to have to defend themselves, that shames us when we can’t. I do not forgive the misogyny that turns women against one another, that makes us judge other women for not being woman enough, that makes us judge and hate ourselves.”

“there’s no single right way to girl. And no one has the prerogative to tell you how to do it or judge you for your choices. Go out and roar.”

“our voices are our power. We must use them – and teach the generations after us to do the same. Together, all those voices can create an epic boom. Maybe even one that can take down a wall.”
