The author reflects on the turbulent year of 2016 following the presidential election, highlighting the mix of hope and disappointment as she shared the experience with her young daughter. Despite the emotional turmoil, she recalls a resurgence of girl power during that time, exemplified by cultural moments like "Take Our Daughters to Work Day" and the popularity of empowering media. The release of "Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls" provided comfort, offering inspiring tales of women's achievements that resonated deeply with both mother and daughter, reinforcing the message that girls can achieve anything they aspire to.
Reading Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls to my girl felt like something helpful to do. It reminded me that she could be anything, regardless of the world's difficulties.
In 2016, we were dressing babies in Notorious RBG shirts, buying Barbie dolls that represented women in history. It was a renaissance of girl power.
