Forty years after Title IX was passed by the federal government to end to gender discrimination in public schools, sexual harassment continues to plague the lives of young women and LGBTQ youth. Research shows the effects bullying has on school children can range from poor grades to suicide, yet many dismiss this kind of gender-based violence as a rite of passage for adolescents. Hey Shorty! captures the story of a group of young women and adult allies at Girls for Gender Equity as they struggle to make the New York City schools safer for all students.

This new book from activists Joanne Smith, Mandy Van Deven, and Meghan Huppuch provides a detailed narrative of the achievements and setbacks of a youth-led grassroots organizing campaign and participatory action research project that uncovered stark truths about the ubiquity of sexual harassment in young people's lives. It offers an accessible guide for young women and adult allies to combat unwanted sexual attention in educational environments and public space and demonstrates that young women can successfully demand accountability while cultivating their own ability to live self-determined lives.

Geared toward students, parents, teachers, policymakers, and activists, Hey Shorty! is an excellent tool for building awareness and creating change in any community. Minder weergeven

This issue of The Scholar and Feminist Online captures a core principle of feminism: the need for a diverse many to work together — noisily yet mellifluously — while recognizing, honoring, bridging, and preserving their differences. Audre Lorde's injunction to let difference be a creative bridge to the other has been one of the foremost challenges of feminist politics. Yet, it is the differences among feminists that have led to some of the most vibrant and lasting ideas, practices, and movements. In a panoply of sound, sight, and text, Polyphonic Feminisms: Acting in Concert does not demand unity or agreement, but rather allows for a flourishing of ruminations on what feminism is, where it has been, and what paths it might travel forward — imagining a world remade by many feminisms.
