Girls Rising: Addressing Female Activist Characters in YA Literature through Critical Literacy
Colantonio-Yurko, Kathleen; Boehm, Shelby; Olmstead, Kathleen
Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, v95 n3 p136-141 2022
In this manuscript, the authors examine three young adult novels using critical literacy as a lens for addressing issues of power and justice around sexual violence and the actions taken by characters to make social change in their fictional schooling contexts. This piece uses scholarship around youth activism in young adult literature to engage with Jennifer Mathieu's "Moxie," Amy Reed's "The Nowhere Girls," and Renée Watson and Ellen Hagan's "Watch Us Rise."
