Hey, Shorty!: A Guide to Combating Sexual Harassment and Violence in Schools and on the Streets
If you want to read about some truly inspiring young feminists, pick up Hey, Shorty! A Guide to Combating Sexual Harassment and Violence in Schools and on the Streets, a collaboratively written book by Joanne Smith, Mandy Van Deven and Meghan Huppuch of Girls for Gender Equity (GGE). This book is full of great ideas for youth organizing and coalition work. What's most impressive is how GGE encouraged girls to articulate their issues and goals, and then worked with them to learn the skills they needed to achieve their goals. The result? A whole new generation of smart, knowledgeable, articulate and empowered young women. Women who will change the world. --Ms., April 19, 2011Hey, Shorty! is a richly informative guide for those of you out there who want to take the first step toward ensuring that young people in your community can combat sexual harassment and violence - so that they learn and thrive in school. --Feministing, April 12, 2011
