"Young women looking for inspiration will surely find it" (Booklist)
in these profiles of forty-six movers and shakers who made their mark
before they turned twenty.
This fun and inspiring collection of influential stories provides
forty-six illustrated examples of strong, independent female role
models, all of whom first impacted the world as teenagers or younger.
Originally published in two volumes over a decade ago, this fully
updated and expanded edition of Girls Who Rocked the World spans a
variety of achievements, interests, and backgrounds, from Harriet Tubman
and Coco Chanel to S.E. Hinton and Maya Lin--each with her own
incredible story of how she created life-changing opportunities for
herself and the world. Personal aspirations from today's young women are
interspersed throughout the book, which also includes profiles of
teenagers who are rocking the world right now--girls like Winter
Vinecki, the creator of the nonprofit organization Team Winter, and
Jazmin Whitley, the youngest designer to show at L.A. Fashion Week.
It's never too soon to start making a difference, and these exhilarating
examples of girl power in action make for ideal motivation.
