Girl Rising: Changing the World One Girl at a Time by Tanya Lee Stone

4.0

This collection of biographical essays about girls from developing nations who are fighting for their right to education is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring.

And for a change of pace, the book is based on a documentary of the same name, but with more stories included.

There is an excellent chapter encouraging young people to get involved in activism to make the world a better place. I’m not young, but I’ll be looking for more information about a nonprofit called Room to Read.
