Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Renée Watson teams up with rock-star poet Ellen Hagan in this feminist anthem about two young women fighting to have their voices heard
A stirring and unputdownable read about what it means to be a woman today. Perfect for fans of Moxie and The Hate U Give.Jasmine and Chelsea are best friends on a mission. Sick of the way that young women are treated even at their ´progressive´ New York City high school, they decide to start a Women´s Rights Club. One problem - no one shows up. That hardly stops them. They start posting everything from videos of Chelsea performing her poetry to Jasmine´s response to being reduced to a racist and sexist stereotype in the school´s theatre department. And soon, they´ve gone viral, creating a platform they never could´ve predicted. With such positive support, the Women´s Rights Club is also targeted by trolls. But Jasmine and Chelsea won´t let their voices - or those of the other young women in their city - be silenced. They´ll risk everything to be heard and effect change ... but at what cost?
