Author Interview: Mattie Kahn (Young and Restless: The Girls Who Sparked America’s Revolutions)

* Audio note: my mic was a little different this week just FYI **

I’m joined this week by Mattie Kahn, author of the new book Young and Restless: The Girls Who Sparked America’s Revolutions. 

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.
