With a background in architecture and construction, Emily Pilloton
started the nonprofit Girls Garage to give girls the tools to build the
world they want to see. Since 2013, girls ages 9-18 have come to Girls
Garage's workshop eager to use power tools and build real-world projects
for their community. The Girls Garage book puts that same power into
girls' hands around the world, inviting them to join a thriving,
diverse, and fierce movement of fearless builder girls.
