In a bold anthem, Rise, Girl, Rise, feminist organizer Gloria Steinem and Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee share their parallel journeys as activists. This picture book for children is told through alternating points of view and culminating in a powerful collective “we,” celebrating resilience and empowerment to inspire girls everywhere to raise their voices, stand together, and rise up for themselves and others.
 
“A visually powerful feminist primer that inspires emotion…” --Kirkus
 
“Highlighting the twinned stories of their egalitarian awakenings, the authors emphasize the importance of sisterhood in this persuasively rallying work.”-- Publishers Weekly
 
Gloria and Leymah share personal stories of growing up in vastly different parts of the world, each confronting the injustices faced by girls and women in their communities. Their experiences—shaped by courage, conviction, and a deep desire for change—led them to become fierce advocates for equality.
