An accessible primer for teens on history, current events, and essential issues through the lens of feminist theory and perspective. A book for all teens - no matter what gender you are - about feminism: what it is, what it means, and how to do it...from A to Z. Not only will you learn something about yourself, your community, your people, and your world, you will discover kick-ass call-to-action suggestions and resources to take your feminism to a higher level! Written by the author of the Stonewall Award-winning book, This Day in June, Feminism From A to Z is an alphabetical primer on feminism for teen girls. Each chapter examines a topic that offers call-to-action exercises incorporated into each lesson. Includes an introduction to readers on how to use the book and an alphabetical list of ways to take feminist action.
From the introduction:
So many girls and women don amp rsquo t have easy access to the tools of feminism. In fact, if we learn about feminism at all, it probably won amp rsquo t be until after we finish high school. And that is a shame. Imagine how different life would be if, at the age of 3 and suddenly faced with casual sexism for the first time, you had a strong grasp of feminist principles and a hefty feminist toolbox at your fingertips? Let amp rsquo s be more specific. Here are some situations where feminism can be really helpful:
If you amp rsquo ve ever felt amp ldquo fat. amp rdquo
If you amp rsquo ve ever been pressured to do something you didn amp rsquo t want to do, or that went against your values.
If you amp rsquo ve ever been afraid to speak up.
If you amp rsquo ve ever been bullied-or been a bully.
If your confidence has ever felt shaky.
If you amp rsquo ve ever felt unwelcome because of who you are.
Feminism can help you navigate all of these scenarios-and then some. That amp rsquo s why I wrote this book. Because I believe that feminism will change your life.
