Also announced this week: 

2021 Rise: A Feminist Book Project List. This excellent list of 2020 titles, divided into Early Readers, Middle Grade, and Young Adult categories, with fiction and nonfiction categories, highlights quality feminist literature for young readers. She Spoke was an honoree on last year’s list, and we are so excited to see the excellent company it continues to have, with so many books that provide inspiration for young readers. In the words of the Rise Committee: “As we take stock of what we have lost, we must continue to fight. We must hold both in our hearts: the past and the future.” Congratulations to all of the honorees!
