Dear Younger Me
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-5381-7551-4 (ISBN)
An inspiring book for young adult readers that Kirkus Reviews says offers "many inspiring, resilient role models along with encouraging advice to take away."
A fascinating group of women from all walks of life share their inspirations, advice, and what they wish they’d known when they were younger.
If you could go back and share words of wisdom with your younger self, what would you want to say? Thirty-five barrier-breaking women answer that question in the empowering new young adult anthology Dear Younger Me: What 35 Trailblazing Women Wish They'd Known as Girls. Emmy Award-winning journalist Elisa Boxer delivers in-depth profiles of these inspirational women, detailing their struggles and achievements and featuring a personal message from each woman written just for this book. The women include activists, entrepreneurs, a Holocaust survivor, WWII code breaker, author, educator, musician, athlete, politicians, scientists, and more.
Featuring well-known trailblazers such as Nancy Pelosi, Gabby Giffords, and Sheryl Sandberg alongside lesser-known yet equally important women from all walks of life, Dear Younger Me will inspire readers of all ages to tap into their courage, find their voice, embrace failure as an opportunity to grow, stand up for what they believe in, and be the best version of themselves.
Elisa Boxer is an Emmy award-winning journalist and columnist whose work has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Inc. magazine, and Fast Company. Her children’s books include The Voice That Won the Vote: How One Woman’s Words Made History and the picture-book biography A Seat at the Table: The Nancy Pelosi Story.
