Born a Girl: It Takes Courage
Alice Dussutour, illustrated by Alice Dussutour, David Warriner
Kaneila, Jade, Mahnoosh, Makena, and Luisa are girls living in five countries. Their stories address violence and injustice directed at them because they are female. Kaneila is required to spend a week each month alone in a hut: her period is treated as something that makes her impure. The girls confront gender-related problems, and each chapter includes further information about the issue it raises, along with illustrations and resource material.
