Inspiring Stories to Be a Brave and Happy Girl

About the Book

As young females we are taught physics, mathematics, biology, in case you go to school; in case not, at least parents taught us our duties, transmit values and their fears, but no one gives us classes on how to manage our feelings, we are left in silence with our own thoughts, sometimes, at home, there are no explanation on how to handle disappointments, racism, misogynist mates. Parents have their own traditions, the love for us , and at the same time the ignorance of a changing world may result in our question increasing their fears and our doubts. If adults refuse to answer, and we ask our siblings they might not know, so we should investigate in various sources, books, videos, prestigious conferences, now we can find things from the most prestigious universities. But when we are kids, we learn through stories, in this book you will find many answers that different women, from childhood to youth have had, and they learnt from living their challenges and surpassing their obstacles. I hope these stories resonate in some or other way with you, and start writing your own. You will be taken to different worlds in which many different women have lived their life, from North to South, from poverty and wealth, traditions and breaking patterns, these paths are just some o many females walk and open doors to live better.
