Description

Bestselling author and advocate Dr. Monique Couvson makes a personal, compelling case for how investing in all girls leads to a better world for us all

Girls, Unlimited is an insider-informed blueprint that weaves the author's thirty-plus years of notes from the field-excerpts from interviews with girls and key stakeholders working with girls around the world-with her personal experience to expose how all girls, but especially girls of color, have been underserved. This groundbreaking book provides an illuminating guide to fostering strategies that prioritize the well-being and liberation of all girls in the United States, offering practical insights into how such efforts can catalyze a more sustainable and democratic society.

Girls, Unlimited examines what is required to move past the "pocket change"-level of giving to girls and young women and, instead, incite a more sincere engagement in the cultivation of conditions to abundantly resource girls-financially and otherwise-at the intersections of their identity. By reimagining how we invest in girls, we can shape a new landscape of opportunity, ensuring that every girl can thrive.
