What's it about?

Parenting
Every parent wants their child to grow up confident, happy, and successful—but it's easier said than done—especially when it comes to raising daughters. This collection offers inspirational stories of women who fought for their rights against the powers and structures of patriarchy. You'll learn how to teach and talk about consent, compassion, and self-love with your daughter, and how to center mental health and a positive body image in their upbringing.
