Teen Trailblazers 30 Fearless Girls who Changed the World by Jennifer Calvert, illustrated by Vesna Asanovic

Is it possible to change this world?
Of course, and this book, Teen Trailblazers 30 Fearless Girls who Changed the World by Jennifer Calvert, illustrated by Vesna Asanovic  published by Castle Point Books on Oct 2 tells the real story of women of the past, (and present) that, in various existential fields made and are making the difference.
Art, policy, literature, activism these creative girls became important and changed the world, influencing the future in the field that they choose, for a reason or another, sometimes constricted by the events, before to be 20; an important age this one because still in the teenage age, a moment where the dimension of dream and the possibility of making a difference for a different world is more real.
Some example? Frida Kahlo, Jackie Mitchell, Anne Frank, Pocahontas, Samantha Reed Smith, Jane Austen, Emma Watson, Mary Shelley, Anita Garibaldi, Emma Gonzales. This final example, Emma born in 1999, is part of the #NeverAgain movement. Some teen-agers after that they saw the horror of a senseless mass shootings in their school in Parkland, Florida the day of Saint Valentine said just one word: BASTA!
Basta, because it was sufficient; basta because people of power, people with responsibilities can't permit that a teen-ager goes in a gun store buying gun wars and then just because frustrated, kills at randoms innocent lives. Life is not a videogame.
Basta, because a regulation in this matter is more than indispensible in a country where, unfortunately the problem is urgent.

The book explains for every girl the personal story, background and entire entire life.
Very well done, I know that this book will be of great inspiration. We have a brain girls, and it is better to use it for causes that matters the entire humanity.

I suggest to every parent of buying a copy of this book at their daughters. Past speaks to us with more power than not present and present needs to be cured so badly and only beautiful and brave minds can do that.

I thank NetGalley and Castle Point Books for this eBook.
