GIRLS RESIST!: A GUIDE TO ACTIVISM, LEADERSHIP, AND STARTING A REVOLUTION

Book ID/图书代码: 11186018C00001

English Summary/英文概要: A smart, contemporary, stylish, and practical handbook for aspiring teen girl activists who are mad as hell about the way the world is going and aren’t gonna take it anymore.

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 selfpurchase as a gift, fitting perfectly between magazines and YA novels on a teen girl’s shelf.

·Extremely timely content for a rapidly growing readership that’s constantly making news

·Fresh, contemporary, fun design (think FANGIRL’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY) will make this stand out from other NF titles on the subject

·Author has extensive professional experience in grassroots organizing and a broad knowledge of social justice topics

·A self-purchasable title for teens; this is the book they’ll grab to share with their friends and get going

·Stands out from all competitive titles by not talking down, sugarcoating, or sticking to less actionable advice that’s geared towards younger teens and tweens

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 一个聪明的,现代的,时尚的,实用的指南,为有抱负的少女激进分子而写的,她们正以疯狂的方式,走向世界吗,但这个世界并将不再接受她们。

《女孩抵抗》是一本很酷的、相关的、及时的激进主义指南,它对少女读者来说,就像他们的聪明和热情的人一样。在这个充斥着政治青春的社论和青少年演员的时代,坦率地讨论女权主义和白人特权等话题,年轻女性比以往任何时候都更投入、更兴奋、更热情,但她们也需要指导。

章节将介绍标准话题选择原因,筹款,网络,和抗议,但投入足够的空间给特殊青少年主题和技巧,像艰难的会谈又不体贴家人,游说和竞选投票代表当你太年轻,和最佳实践是有效的(和安全!),而提高意识在社会媒体。另外,新鲜的设计会让这成为一件礼物,在少女的书架上完美地配上杂志和小说。

??对于快速增长的读者来说,这是非常及时的内容。

??全新的、当代的、有趣的设计(想想《银河系漫游指南》)将会让这一主题从其他NF标题中脱颖而出。

??具有广泛的基层组织工作经验和广泛的社会正义知识。

??青少年可自行购买的头衔;这是他们和朋友们一起分享的书。

??从所有的竞争性标题中脱颖而出不谈糖衣,或坚持不那么可行的建议,这些建议都是针对青少年和青少年的。(WYL)
