Powered by Girl: A Field Guide for Supporting Youth Activists

A playbook for working with and training girls to be activists of their own social movements

Drawing from a diverse collection of interviews with women and girl activists, Powered by Girl is both a journalistic exploration of how girls have embraced activism and a guide for adults who want to support their organizing. Here we learn about the intergenerational support behind thirteen-year-old Julia Bluhm when she got Seventeen to go Photoshop free; nineteen-year-old Celeste MontaÃ±o, who pressed Google to diversify their Doodles; and sixteen-year-old Yas Necati, who campaigns for better sex education. And we learn what experienced adult activists say about how to scaffold girlsâ€™ social-change work. Brown argues that adults shouldnâ€™t encourage girls to â€œlean in.â€ Rather, girls should be supported in creating their own movementsâ€”disrupting the narrative, developing their own ideasâ€”on their own terms.
