Young & Restless Book Club Author Discussion
Join Remake virtually on January 24th at 9am PT / 12pm ET for a conversation with the author of Young & Restless: The Girls Who Sparked America's Revolutions, Mattie Kahn. We will have a live discussion about the book with Remake Winter Book Club participants, but all are welcome to join!
About Young & Restless:
Young and Restless recounts one of the most foundational and underappreciated forces in moments of American revolution: teenage girls. From the American Revolution itself to the Civil Rights Movement to nuclear disarmament protests and the women’s liberation movement, through Black Lives Matter and school strikes for climate, Mattie Kahn uncovers how girls have leveraged their unique strengths, from fandom to intimate friendships, to organize and lay serious political groundwork for movements that often sidelined them. Their stories illuminate how much we owe to girls throughout the generations, what skills young women use to mobilize and find their voices, and, crucially, what we can all stand to learn from them.
