Our Stories, Our Voices: 21 YA Authors Get Real about Injustice, Empowerment, and Growing Up Female in America by Amy Reed, Julie Murphy

4.0

A stellar collection of essays focusing on female empowerment, particularly with close emphasis on race, sexuality, and sexual violence. Most of the essays were raw and powerful, but my favorite was "Unexpected Pursuits" by Christine Day. Of course, while the messages are genuine, some essays shine brighter than the others and have a greater impact on the reader. Still, this book is a must-read for any young woman feeling alone, vulnerable, or unsure of what to do in such times ripe with dangerous political and socioeconomic climates.
