“I am a feminist. I’ve been female for a long time now. It’d be stupid not to be on my own side.” ―Maya Angelou

What have you been taught about who has power and who makes the rules? Have you ever been lost for words at an old-school family friend’s "kind but sexist" comments? Do you agree with equality and justice but struggle to take on the name "Feminist"? Then this book is for you.

Expand what feminism means to you, your community, and society by examining these 20 themes: feminism, identity, justice, education, money, power, health, mental health, freedom, relationships, sexuality, body image, leadership, media, art, safety (on- and off-line), the environment, activism and movements, innovation, and an interactive exploration of what feminism means to you.

You will close the book with an understanding that history and culture play a role in shaping systems of power and of what we can do with our strengths, community, and values to help change course when needed.
