Feminism is girl stuff! And it’s our duty to introduce the next generation to its many concepts. The sooner we do that, the better!

Today, our culture is doing more things right for our girls now than ever before. But there’s a lot of room for improvement.

The battle is still on and soon it’ll be up to the young ones to take the torch.

Our goal is to preserve the movement’s legacy of equality of rights for the foreseeable future and beyond. To do that, girls must learn from an early age to stand up for themselves and never let anyone keep them down just because of their gender.

Help the next generation find their inner strength early, with the best Feminist books for girls.

#4 Saint Everywhere: Travels in Search of the Lady by Mary Lea Carroll

While visiting Siena, Italy, Mary Lea Carroll grew fascinated with the remarkable story of St. Catherine of Siena and made a resolution: Whenever she was lucky enough to travel, if a shrine dedicated to a female saint was nearby, she’d visit it and learn about her.

Over eight quests, Carroll takes readers along with her as she seeks to learn something from a few great women of history, while looking for ways to be a better citizen of the world.
