This book and curriculum were created to empower and educate young women on issues relevant to their emotional health, self confidence, safety and individual responsibility. As the famous equal rights crusader, Mary Wollstonecraft said "I do not wish for women to have power over men, but power over themselves". This is not anti male. It is pro female, pro equality, and pro individual. This is designed to teach young women that they are in control of their bodies, minds and emotions.
