Opis

Set in a Ugandan village, Lilian has learned to shrink herself to fit other peoples ideas of what a girl is. In her village a girl is not meant to go to school or decide who to marry. Written in consultation with young Ugandan women, and addressing the difficult subject of FGM, I Am Change is the tragic but empowering story of how a young girl finds her voice and the strength to fight for change.

Recenzje

I Am Change makes for a hauntingly beautiful reading experience, and Lilian's voice demands to be heard. Her story is more than just brave and confronting-it needs to be told. Books and Publishing
