Book Description
Founded in 1994 by feminist activists Andrea Johnston and Gloria Steinem, the Girls Speak Out Program has inspired thousands of girls around the world to build self-esteem and hold on to their true selves. In a series of workshops, Johnston facilitates honest discussion with girls of all ages about self-worth, friendships, equality, the media, the power of a girls' movement, and female models throughout history to show how each girl can explore her unique place in the world. In this revised edition of GIRLS SPEAK OUT, Johnston provides a step-by-step guide to finding and expressing one's individuality. Featuring interactive exercises, poems and stories from girls, and excerpts from such eminent writers as Alice Walker and Sandra Cisneros, GIRLS SPEAK OUT is an empowering handbook for girls (and their friends) everywhere.

I borrowed this book and read it back when I was a coming-of-age sixth grade girl. I had just gotten my period, was growing breasts, and was interested in boys for the first time. It helped clear up so many issues I was having, and all in all was a great read. Reccommended for any girl/woman over the age of 9, because it tends to get a little detailed. Anyway...ladies...from one to another...GO READ IT!

Girls Speak Out is about how Andrea Johnston runs this wonderful club and how girls have changed from it. Girls have written poems and Andrea has put parts of strong, moving stories about other girls in it.

This book is a great book for any woman or girl from ages 9-16. It helps raise self-esteem and is a fun book to read aloud to a daughter. Andrea Johnston did a wonderful job of getting out the main theme with having some fun as well. Ms. Johnston and Gloria Stienem have created and published a wonderfully powerful book. The book is a great book for a teenage girl to read.

Excellent book for girls aged 9 to 18 and adult women. The heartwarming, poignant, and sometimes sad stories and poems by the girls help girls maintain or revive their true selves which are often lost during these years. A helpful book for developing girl's self-esteem and maintaining positive feelings about herself. Girls are celebrated for who they are, not what they look like or what they wear. Girl's voices are those of a wide range of ethnicities.
