"A primer on the women's movement that brims with reading and film lists, web resources, and worthy reminders. . . . Textbook-y in the best way. . . . Several appendices give practical advice. . . . It's the perfect gift for the burgeoning activist in your life."
-Bitch
"An amazing and comprehensive resource. . . . Serving as both an introduction to feminism and a blueprint for what's next for the movement, Fight Like a Girl is simply invaluable."
"The so-called 'third wave'--the newest generation involved in the women's movement-- faces an uphill battle in getting people to listen up, partly because of knee-jerk negative reactions to the f-word: 'feminist.' In fact, says Seely, 'I'm not a feminist, but . . . ' has become a common qualifier among young people who support the principles of equality but don't want to be associated with words like 'militant' or 'butch.' Seely addresses this stumbling block and many others, including discord within the movement due to racial and generational differences. She provides an accessible overview of the women's movement, including timelines, suggested reading and numerous ways for young people to get active and make a difference."
-Newsday (How-To Book of the Week)
"Fight Like a Girl is a much-needed primer and call to action for the next generation of feminist activists. In this regressive cultural climate, it's more important than ever to speak loudly and proudly about the work we're doing and what still needs to be done."
"With her guide addressed to a generation of girls who have grown up 'denying feminism but embracing its rewards, ' the youngest woman ever elected president of the California chapter of NOW seeks to make feminism palatable for a generation put off by outmoded images of unshaven legs and burning bras. . . . This is a thorough, thought-provoking introduction."
-Publishers Weekly
"A useful antidote to the widespread attitude of the many young women that passivity and resignation are the only rational responses to the enormous cultural, religious, political and media forces arrayed against feminism. . . . This book could be a useful supplement to Women's Studies courses."
-Susan B. Hansen, University of Pittsburgh
"Seely dispels the notion that there are secrets to successful organizing by creating a step by step, compelling manual that challenges even the cynical."
