A note for parents

This is a contemporary young adult novel about two Black girls in Harlem who form a feminist club at their high school. The story centers on friendship, identity, activism, and standing up for what's right. While there is some mild language and references to racism and discrimination that characters experience, the book is fundamentally optimistic and empowering, with strong positive role models and messages about resilience, solidarity, and social justice.
