With 31 chapters about 33 girls who are moving， shaking， shaping， and changing the world， including a blank chapter for each reader to write her own story， this collection promises to inspire girls to become activists in their own corner of the world。 Whether the project is improving oneself， taking the lead in school or a community or even coming up with ideas that can make a difference in the world， it's clear that these girls have it going on。 The premise behind the book is that confidence bu With 31 chapters about 33 girls who are moving， shaking， shaping， and changing the world， including a blank chapter for each reader to write her own story， this collection promises to inspire girls to become activists in their own corner of the world。 Whether the project is improving oneself， taking the lead in school or a community or even coming up with ideas that can make a difference in the world， it's clear that these girls have it going on。 The premise behind the book is that confidence builds confidence and that girls can gain confidence in themselves and their actions by seeing others in action or reading about their accomplishments。 It's important to note that these chapters include stories of triumph but also of struggles and mistakes so that readers are aware that success doesn't come easy and sometimes progress or change is slow。 The individual chapters contain the essence of interviews with the girls and include many of their words while also featuring side notes indicating that something is a Confidence Building Block or a Confidence Quicksand。 Some of the girls' stories are even told in comic book style。 There are photographs of the girls and a section for each one entitled "Just Asking" that is a question/answer section about comfort foods， what makes the girl laugh， and how she likes to spend a lazy day as well as other questions。 I enjoyed seeing all this positivity that gave me hope for the next generation and the world if it's in the hands of these young leaders， but I wish the authors would have included a section about how their subjects were chosen and given more information about the interview process。 I'm sure that won't be a concern for the book's intended audience， though， since they will be impressed with what these girls have managed to do and maybe begin thinking about what they can do。 After all， girls really can do anything they put their minds do， and this book is vivid proof of that saying。 。。。more

I skimmed， more than read。 This is definitely a book for middle school girls。 The girls profiled are amazing but the book is difficult to read （for me anyway）。 Different fonts， different sizes， some parts are like graphic novels。 Just not my thing。
