I loved reading Powered by Girl! It's a great book for educators and mentors who work with teen girls. Brown challenges readers to think critically about societies reactions to social movements that claim to empower girls. She takes on both gender and generational myths that threaten to impede girls from their place in activism as a coming-of-age right. Having worked with teenage girls in formal classrooms, summer camps, and in different countries, I wish I had read this book long ago. This book gets to the heart of what it means to empower girls and question our actions and assumptions. Powered by Girl does not always make intergenerational work sound easy, but it successfully expresses the importance with guidance and real-life examples for anyone dedicated to working authentically with girls.
