Founded in 1994 by feminist activists Andrea Johnston and Gloria Steinem, the Girls Speak Out program has inspired thousands of girls around the world to build self-esteem and hold on to their true selves. In a series of workshops, Johnston facilitates honest discussion with girls of all ages about self-worth, friendships, equality, the media, the power of a girls' movement, and female models throughout history to show how each girl can explore her unique place in the world. In this revised edition of Girls Speak Out, Johnston provides a step-by-step guide to finding and expressing one's individuality. Featuring interactive exercises, poems and stories from girls, and excerpts from such eminent writers as Alice Walker and Sandra Cisneros, Girls Speak Out is an empowering handbook for girls (and their friends) everywhere.
