Sparks of rebellion can be found from family stories to famous women of history. Ripples of rebellion can start small and grow into big movements. The stories and poems in this year’s Gals Guide Anthology showcase the political, as well as the deeply personal, defiant acts of rebellion. 39 authors from around the world share their insights into the many ways rebellion shows up in our lives.
This is the fifth anthology curated and published by Gals Guide, a nonprofit dedicated to women’s history.
