She examines their social movement strategies and collective political practices, detailing their shared commitments to process-based political education, participatory democracy, and hopeful enthusiasm. Ultimately, Rebel Girls demonstrates that adult social movements could learn a great deal from girl activists, making clear the importance of increased collaboration between young people and adults."--pub. desc."
