Audacious Voices
Inspiring and hopeful, Audacious Voices: Profiles in Intersectional Feminism (published in November 2018) is a collection of twelve stories from alums of the will program, a feminist educational model that centers social justice. The authors featured in this book are working, in their own unique ways, to make their communities more equitable—and their stories illustrate how different elements of the will program influence and inspire them to act with such intentionality.
The authors demonstrate how educators and students can intentionally connect a feminist education with activism beyond the classroom through a feminist educational model called will . This model is flexible and transferable to many different kinds of schools and organizations. Rather than provide a detailed explanation of program elements, the authors direct interested people to this website for more information.
Author-activist Courtney E. Martin writes in The New Better Off that the times we live in may break our hearts, but they don’t have to break our spirit; it’s that spirit that these stories capture, alongside the power of a feminist educational program that engenders such spirit. Emphasizing hope, empathy, resiliency, and solutions by showcasing the transformative power of inclusive leadership, advocacy, and mentorship, Audacious Voices reminds us that real change is possible, even in the most difficult of times.
