GIRLS RESIST is a cool, relevant, timely activism handbook that speaks to teen girl readers like the intelligent and passionate people they are. In this age of political Teen Vogue editorials and teen actors frankly discussing topics like feminism and white privilege, young women are more engaged, excited, and fired up than ever--but they also need guidance. Chapters will cover standard topics like picking a cause, fundraising, networking, and protesting, but devote plenty of space to teen-specific topics and how-tos like having tough talks with unsupportive family members, lobbying and campaigning for representatives when you're too young to vote, and best practices for being effective (and safe!) while raising awareness on social media. Plus, the fresh design will make this as much a self-purchase as a gift, fitting perfectly between magazines and YA novels on a teen girl's shelf.
KaeLyn Rich is a staff writer for the popular queer women's website Autostraddle.com. A queer feminist, a direct action organiser, a nonprofit lifer, and sexuality educator, she is the director of the Genesee Valley Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union, the former community affairs coordinator for Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York, and has community organizing experience that dates back to stuffing folders for her parents' union meetings. KaeLyn lives in Rochester, NY with her spouse, their new baby, and a house full of furkids: a xenophobic cat, two bossy bunnies, and two quirky guinea pigs.
