Award-winning author Renee Watson teams up with poet Ellen Hagan in
this YA feminist anthem about raising your voice. Jasmine and
Chelsea are best friends on a mission--they're sick of the way
women are treated even at their progressive NYC high school, so
they decide to start a Women's Rights Club. They post their work
online--poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and
Jasmine's response to the racial microaggressions she
experiences--and soon they go viral. But with such positive
support, the club is also targeted by trolls. When things escalate
in real life, the principal shuts the club down. Not willing to be
silenced, Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their
voices--and those of other young women--to be heard. These two
dynamic, creative young women stand up and speak out in a novel
that features their compelling art and poetry along with powerful
personal journeys that will inspire readers and budding poets,
feminists, and activists. Acclaim for Piecing Me Together 2018
