Y'all remember those American Girl books like The Care and Keeping of You?
This is a great resource for young girls to learn about feminism on their level. The language and overall tone is giving big sister you feel safe asking hard questions to. At no point do you feel talked down to or like you're sitting through a lecture. We need more open discussions like these in this world.
The only "bad" thing I could say is that it will probably become dated pretty quickly. This is definitely intended for gen z and since the majority of that generation is out of high school now the references to things like music will get lost in the generation transition to what is "in". The information however will last generations.

I think I am admittedly a bit older than the target demo for this book, but I still enjoyed it and I think this is a wonderful Intersectional Feminism 101 resource for young feminists!

* I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review *
This feels like the type of book that could go alongside "The Care and Keeping of You" as an important title every young girl and woman should read. There are sections which would be most applicable and useful for young Black and Brown women, such as how to navigate colorism, but it covers a large variety of feminist topics through an intersectional lens that everyone could benefit from reading. There are sections discussing struggles with family and friends, navigating sexuality and gender, confidence, and more. I appreciated the continued use of inclusive and nonjudgmental language and how it encourages readers to explore and set boundaries for themselves. In my experience, a lot of the feminist topics are things I and my friends first encountered in college but could have benefited from learning sooner. Overall, it is an engaging, entertaining, and informative read that I wish I'd had when I was younger.

As I figured, this is best for young feminists seeing as there are different sections with advice that adults don’t typically need. Besides those sections though this is incredible solid for all ages. There’s content warnings before sensitive topics are covered in a chapter. There’s a good mix of facts, personal experiences, and jokes. These women are hilarious. The audiobook is absolutely incredible and I highly recommend this.
