Inhalt

VERLAGSTEXT: / / / If we want girls to succeed, we need to teach them the audacity to transgress. Through the lives of students at three very different schools, an award-winning scholar-activist makes the case for ¿feminist schools¿ that orient girls toward a lifetime of achievement. / / This bold and necessary book points out a simple and overlooked truth: most schools never had girls in mind to begin with. That is why the world needs what Sally Nuamah calls ¿feminist schools,¿ deliberately designed to provide girls with achievement-oriented identities. And she shows how these schools would help all students, regardless of their gender. / / Educated women raise healthier families, build stronger communities, and generate economic opportunities for themselves and their children. Yet millions of disadvantaged girls never make it to school-and too many others drop out or fail. Upending decades of advice and billions of dollars in aid, Nuamah argues that this happens because so many challenges girls confront-from sexual abuse to unequal access to materials and opportunities-go unaddressed. But it isn¿t enough just to go to school. What you learn there has to prepare you for the world where you¿ll put that knowledge to work. / / A compelling and inspiring scholar who has founded a nonprofit to test her ideas, Nuamah reveals that developing resilience is not a gender-neutral undertaking. Preaching grit doesn¿t help girls; it actively harms them. Drawing on her deep immersion in classrooms in the United States, Ghana, and South Africa, Nuamah calls for a new approach: creating feminist schools that will actively teach girls how and when to challenge society¿s norms, and allow them to carve out their own paths to success.
