Girl Rising: Changing the World One Girl at a Time by Tanya Lee Stone
3.0
Girl Rising is a film that follows the stories of girls throughout the world who rise above their harsh circumstances and give back. The original film brought in a diverse range of authors to help each girl tell her story. This book goes deeper, diving into stories of girls who didn't appear in the final film, but also further exploring some of the girls who are in the film.
It's eye-opening, if a little broad and scatter-shot. I think it's valuable to hear stories from around the world, but it starts to feel a little watered down.
