Product Description

Review

`It's not your standard do-good, feel-good collection at all'
--Independent

Product Description

Because I am a girl I am less likely to go to school. Because I am a girl I am more likely to suffer from malnutrition. Because I am a girl I am more likely to suffer violence in the home. Because I am a girl I am more likely to marry and start a family before I reach my twenties. Seven authors have visited seven different countries and spoken to young women and girls about their lives, struggles and hopes. The result is an extraordinary collection of writings about prejudice, abuse, and neglect, but also about courage, resilience and changing attitudes. Proceeds from sales of this book will go to PLAN, one of the world's largest child-centered community development organisations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great authors, great insight, great cause, 25 Jan 2010
I initially chose this book as I'm a great fan of some of the authors but as I read through the seven stories I couldn't help being drawn into the lives of the girls and young women each author met. Each are beautifully written but the styles are very different and it's really interesting to see the contrast.

What I didn't realise was that proceeds of the sale of the book go to an International children's charity, Plan UK. So whilst I felt shocked by the treatment of some of the girls and young women and inspired by many of their stories - I also felt that in some (small) way I was helping to make a change.
