Natalie Vock-Verley, Publisher "It is our hope the five firsthand accounts in Born a Girl will encourage teens of every gender to reflect on inequality and change the status quo."

To enter this book is to dive into the daily lives of young girls from all over the world, each with a childhood and youth surrounded by family and friends. But they must also all live with the limitations that have been imposed on them, for they were born girls. From Kaneila's menstrual exile to Makena's forced marriage and Luisa's harassment, thes ordinary girls deserve our entire attention. Author and artist Alice Dussutour has done her research. Her scathing yet sensitive graphic creations bring these firsthand accounts to immediate and faithful life.
