We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union . . . establish this Constitution for the United States of America.A simple, unintimidating introduction to the US Constitution and the rights it grants every American citizen.

Nearly every day there''s another news story or pop cultural anecdote related to feminism and women''s rights. #YesAllWomen, conversations around consent, equal pay, access to contraception, and a host of other issues are foremost topics of conversation in American (and worldwide) media right now. Today''s teens are encountering these issues from a different perspective than any generation has had before, but what''s often missing from the current discussion is an understanding of how we''ve gotten to this place. Fight Like a Girl will familiarize readers with the history of feminist activism, in an effort to celebrate those who paved the way and draw attention to those who are working hard to further the cause of women''s rights. Profiles of both famous and lesser-known feminists will be featured alongside descriptions of how their actions affected the overall feminist cause, and unique portraits (artist''s renderings) of the feminists themselves. This artistic addition will take the book beyond simply an informational text, and make it a treasure of a book.
