I Am Change Av Suzy Zail

<p><i><b>They told her that her body belonged to men and her mind didn’t matter. They were wrong.</b></i><br><i>“What if I don’t want to marry?” Lillian held her breath. She had never said the words out loud.</i><i><br>“Not want to marry?” Her aunt frowned. “What else would you do?”</i><br><br>Set in a Ugandan village, Lilian has learned to shrink herself to fit other people’s ideas of what a girl is. In her village a girl is not meant to be smarter than her brother. A girl is not meant to go to school or enjoy her body or decide who to marry. Especially if she is poor. <br><br>Inspired by and written in consultation with young Ugandan women, and addressing the difficult subject of FGM, <i>I Am Change</i> is the tragic but empowering story of how a young girl finds her voice and the strength to fight for change.<br><br>Endorsed by Amnesty International</p>
