This is what a feminist crafter looks like! Wear your ideology on your sleeve by creating feminist merit badges (like started an all-girl band or rocked roller derby). Prove that the political is personal with DIY power panties (No means no). Craft great feminist hero finger puppets (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Frida Kahlo) or googly-eyed tampon buddies. Fun sidebars provide background on (s)heroes of the feminist movement.

'Girls are cool. But we are not always cool to each other.' Being a teenager is hard work, but being a teenage girl is even harder! And to top it all off, instead of supporting each other through these challenging years, girls tend to cut each other down. Far from being made of sugar and spice, teenage girls are instead powered by a multitude of body changing, mind bending hormones, making the complex terrain of social relationships harder than ever to navigate. Surviving the gossip, note passing, taunting and teasing of school is a challenge for any teen, but without doubt, it is girls who specialise in the art of being "mean". Why do we behave this way? And what can we do to break these painful cycles of envy and passive-aggression? Packed with no-nonsense explanations and positive advice for both victims and "mean" girls, Bonnie Burton outlines how we can isolate the "mean" from the teen and find permanent and positive solutions to female bullying.
