Youth are some of society’s strongest fighters (and innovators) and these protagonists are no exception. Angeline Boulley (“Warrior Girl Unearthed”) and Amélie Wen Zhao (“Song of Silver, Flame Like Night”) write about girls who have courage to stand up against power—against regimes, colonizers and the violence of unjust laws—to reclaim what is rightfully theirs and their community’s. Moderated by Heather-Marie Montilla.
