"""A Teenager's Guide to Feminism 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 Laurel Everywhere ""A Teenager's Guide to Feminism 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."" - Camari Carter Hawkins, author of Death by Comb ""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"
