About the Book
Teen Vogue award-winning columnist Duca shares a smart and funny guide for challenging the status quo in a much-needed reminder that young people are the ones who will change the world.Book Synopsis
Teen Vogue award-winning columnist Lauren Duca shares a "fun, pithy, and intelligent" (Booklist) guide for challenging the status quo in a much-needed reminder that young people are the ones who will change the world.Journalist Lauren Duca has become an exciting and authoritative voice on the experience of millennials in today's society. Dan Rather agrees, saying "we need fresh, intelligent, and creative voices--like Lauren's--now as much--perhaps more--than ever before." Now, she explores the post-Trump political awakening and lays the groundwork for a re-democratizing moment as it might be built out of the untapped potential of young people. Duca investigates and explains the issues at the root of our ailing political system and reimagines what an equitable democracy would look like. It begins with young people getting involved. This includes people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever to be elected to Congress; David and Lauren Hogg, two survivors of the Parkland, Florida shooting who went on to become advocates for gun control; Amanda Litman, who founded the nonprofit organization Run for Something, to assist progressive young people in down ballot elections; and many more. Called "the millennial feminist warrior queen of social media" by Ariel Levy and "a national newsmaker" by The New York Times, Duca combines extensive research and first-person reporting to track her generation's shift from political alienation to political participation. Throughout, she also drays on her own story as a young woman catapulted to the front lines of the political conversation (all while figuring out how to deal with her Trump-supporting parents).Review Quotes
"Lauren Duca is the kind of writer that makes you cackle, cheer, and, more important, confront where we are and where we need to go as a culture."
--Janet Mock "Duca is the millennial feminist warrior queen of social media."
--Ariel Levy "We need fresh, intelligent, and creative voices like Lauren's now as much--perhaps more--than ever before."
--Dan Rather "Fun, pithy, and intelligent." YA: "By showing teens just how important they are in a fair and functional society, this is sure to encourage teen readers to get involved."
--Booklist "In this inspiring guide...Duca's conversational prose and clear passion for equality allow her to galvanize without preaching. This call to action will resonate even with those who are not already involved in progressive politics."
--Publishers Weekly
