Powerful Girls

Raising Strong, Just, and Compassionate Young Women

About this book

An invaluable guide to cultivating powerful, compassionate young women by nurturing confidence, identity, and a passion for justice.

Girls and young women today need strong role models, mentors, and care providers to foster what society often undermines: a positive self-identity, critical thinking skills to navigate media influences, and a sense of belonging in a supportive community where girls and women uplift each other.

In Powerful Girls: Raising Strong, Just, and Compassionate Young Women, Ann Muno identifies the crucial pieces of knowledge necessary to raise confident girls in a society that's often working against them. She examines the sexism, racism, and privilege that impact girls every day and shares innovative methods to teach basic concepts such as healthy girl culture, choice, identity, and leadership. In addition, Muno equips readers with strategies to help girls recognize their inherent worth, navigate societal pressures, and become change-makers.

Through a wealth of stories, studies, and activities, Powerful Girls dives into the challenges girls face, identifies where their power diminishes, and reveals how they can reclaim their agency and confidence. By fostering a healthier culture where girls thrive, it paves the way for them to reshape the world.
