To be born a girl

From Mexico to Iran, Kenya, and Nepal, this book introduces us to five girls. Each one tells her story and highlights a social issue related to women's place and rights in her country. Each story is accompanied by documentary pages to broaden the discussion and provide concrete information.

The author describes how difficult it is to bear the weight of traditions, prohibitions, and humiliations, and uses her colorful illustrations to shed light on the darkness. The book includes an inspiring foreword by Clémentine Beauvais.
