'An inspiring gift for teenagers with a conscience' - Independent

'We're not the future. We're doing it right now.'

Young people are uniting across the world to create change, have their voices heard and stand up for what they believe in.

In this bold and brilliantly inspiring book, Lauren Sharkey profiles the powerful stories and achievements of 52 young women who are working to improve the lives of people across the globe. Some are active in feminist issues like period poverty or political problems such as police brutality and LGBTQ+ rights; while others are working in science, conservation and diversity. Yet whether it be Twitter campaigns or life-saving apps, their great ideas are all changing the world as we know it.

Illustrated by Manjit Thapp, this is a must-have for young women who would like to dare to make a difference and become empowered to be the change.

An inspiring gift for teenagers with a conscience ... It's empowering stuff for all ages, proving that you don't have to be rich or famous to make a difference, so nab it off your teen and have a flick through yourself! - Independent
