You're a teenage girl, and this is the time you're coming into your own. Girl empowerment is more accessible than you think in this uncensored history of girl power. The Book of Awesome Girls celebrates the power of girls who have shaped, and continue to shape, our future.

Before they were seasoned women, young feminists were changing society and inspiring future generations. At seventeen, Malala Yousafzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Days after her thirteenth birthday, Anne Frank began writing one of the most poignant glimpses of Nazi occupation. Packed with mini biographies of big she-ros, The Book of Awesome Girls features famous girls alongside awesome teens often omitted from history books. With a bonus chapter on girl empowerment today, readers are invited to learn about modern figures like Greta Thunberg and Mari Copeny.

Driven by girl empowerment, this collection of biographies tells the unique stories of strong voices--despite age. From artists to athletes, The Book of Awesome Girls showcases a plethora of passions and skill sets to prove that strong is the new pretty.
