Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World

This modern anthology explores feminism as well as race, sexuality, identity, gender, appearance, social norms, societal privilege, stereotypes and perceptions. The works take the form of essays, artwork, songs, and poetry. The variety of voices and perspectives, including feminist, cisgender, transgender, ethnic and cultural, allow students to appreciate experiences and points of view beyond their own. Suitable for grades 9-12, the anthology has many applications for the classroom, including launching an inquiry, exploration of feminism or mental health, to encourage discussions of social issues, part of a lit circle, and independent reading.
