Based on the experiences of six high school aged girls who the author introduced to avant-garde feminist writers, this book provides insights as to what it means to practice feminist and critical pedagogy in today's high schools. Harper gave these young women the opportunity to break with conventional writing with the support of this avant-garde literature and discovered a much deeper set of challenges and obstacles than she had originally expected.
