Jasmine just found out her dad is dying of cancer. Needing a distraction, she and her best friend, Chelsea, decide to form a Women’s Rights Club, a topic they’re both very passionate about. They post everything on their blog from their experiences to nonfiction essays to videos of Chelsea performing her poetry. Soon the two go viral and their principal is not pleased. Threatening to shut them down, the girls refuse to be silenced by him or the online trolls targeting them. Both girls risk everything to make sure their voices are heard.

Other than Moxie this might be the most feminist YA book I’ve ever read. @harlemportland and @ellenhagan do a phenomenal job illustrating the struggles that girls and women go through on a daily basis. Everything from fat shaming to racist microaggressions to unwanted touch, stereotypes, the patriarchy and more. I loved the poetry throughout and truly believe this is a novel that will stand the test of time.
