About this book
“[Couvson] is a force and a light.” —Susan Burton, founder of A New Way of Life and author of Becoming Ms. Burton
Building on her groundbreaking research that exposed how schools systemically fail Black girls, Dr. Monique Couvson expands her lens in Girls, Unlimited, exploring the many ways our society overlooks the unique experiences and needs of all girls. Interweaving heartwarming and heart-wrenching stories from her own life and career with interviews with other high-profile advocates, and insightful anecdotes about the girls she’s connected with around the world, Dr. Couvson offers a wide range of recommendations for everyone from parents to policymakers.
Girls, Unlimited connects the dots, powerfully illustrating a critique of the many ways girls have been historically underinvested in—especially as compared to boys, and particularly when decision-makers assume investments made in women will trickle down to girls—making the case for the type of societal investment girls deserve and arguing that we all benefit when girls thrive.
Dr. Couvson offers an optimistic, hopeful vision for a future in which girls are supported in every arena and provides readers with a practical road map for how to get there.
