Dare to Be You: Inspirational Advice for Girls on Finding Your Voice, Leading Fearlessly, and Making a Difference

By Marianne Schnall

Book Overview

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, Natalie Portman, Sheryl Sandberg, 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.
