Who inspires us? Students from The Young Women's Leadership School in the Bronx answer this question in this compelling collection of stories. From the student-written introduction: Every one of us has someone. That someone is a person who moves you to do your best. For example, that someone may help you win a math contest or a spelling bee. There are those who motivate us to follow the will of doing right. As TYWLS students, we selected that someone; we selected someone who we can call Wonder Woman. A Wonder Woman is someone who guides you, inspires you to be a better person, and tries to protect you from harm. These are the qualities that we encountered throughout our time with them.

A collection of eye-opening and inspirational wisdom for girls from some of today’s most influential women, offering insights on being true to yourself, finding your voice, overcoming obstacles, and making a difference in the world. Today, it is more important than ever that girls have the courage to be themselves. But societal pressures continue to push girls to conform—to look, think, and act a certain way despite their individuality. From her most thought-provoking interviews with such influential role models as Gloria Steinem, Maya Angelou, Amy Poehler, Kerry Washington, Sheryl Sandberg, Luvvie Ajayi, Arianna Huffington, Brittany Packnett, Natalie Portman, Stacey Abrams, and more, award-winning journalist Marianne Schnall brings together the most inspiring, captivating, and rousing quotes to shed light on the many ways girls can empower themselves. Representing a diverse group of women’s voices—from actresses, comedians, and musicians, to business leaders, elected officials, activists, and Nobel laureates—these words speak to a wide array of issues that young women are facing every day. Dare to Be You is both rallying and uplifting, and is a valuable resource that conveys a timely and important message: When girls dare to be themselves—when they are fearless leaders, speak their truth, and believe in their dreams—they can truly change the world.
