Fight Like A Girl
How To Be A Fearless Feminist
What People are Saying
"Megan Seely a feminist force of nature. Her book is an intelligent, volcanic eruption of facts, an analysis on the status of women and girls today. It's a compelling call to take action for equality that made me feel exactly as I did 30 years ago when I first became a feminist." — Helen Grieco, Executive Director CA NOW
"'Fight Like a Girl' is a much-needed primer and call to action for the next generation of feminist activists. In this regressive cultural climate, it's more important than ever to speak loudly and proudly about the work we're doing and what still needs to be done." — Lisa Jervis, Co-Founder Bitch Magazine
"Fight Like a Girl is packed with both information and inspiration for young women by a young woman who knows her stuff. It's a terrific practical feminist resource book with an optimistic attitude that says in clear language, 'You're in charge of your life and here's how to stay that way.' " — Gloria Feldt, former president, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and author of The War on Choice: the Right-wing Attack on Women's Rights and How to Fight Back
"Always engaging, interesting, and insightful. Fascinating and sure to engage many young women!" — Sherrie A. Inness, editor of Action Chicks: New Images of Tough Women in Popular Culture
"The resources, helpful hints about organizing and working with the press, the short bios of companies and fabulous feminists are great!" — Caryn Aviv, co-editor of American Queer, Then and Now
"With her guide addressed to a generation of girls who have grown up 'denying feminism but embracing its rewards,' the youngest woman ever elected president of the California chapter of NOW seeks to make feminism palatable for a generation put off by outmoded images of unshaven legs and burning bras. . . . This is a thorough, thought-provoking introduction." — Publishers Weekly
"Seely, the youngest elected president of California's chapter of the National Organization for Women, combines her own story of third-wave feminism with an overview of the feminist movement and words to guide others. Third-wave feminists are aware of both the victories won by earlier feminists and the problems of class, race, sexual orientation, and internationalism that must still be overcome. This book weaves a deep respect for the foremothers with commonsense discussion of current obstacles and suggestions for direct action, resulting in a work that reminds us of what too many activists forget-every progressive movement has a long history, few organizing tricks are new, and problems must be understood before they can be solved. Seely includes booklists, time lines, web sites, and how-to tips that will help readers over the bridge from her insights to real world activism. For midsize to larger public libraries, academic libraries, and all feminist collections." — Library Journal
