Nearly every day there's another news story, think piece, or pop cultural anecdote related to feminism and women's rights. Conversations around consent, equal pay, access to contraception, and a host of other issues are foremost topics of conversation in American media. Today's teens are encountering these issues from a different perspective than any generation has before -- but what's often missing from the current discussion is an understanding of how we've gotten to this place. Fight Like a Girl introduces readers to the history of feminist activism in the U.S. in an effort to celebrate those who paved the way and draw attention to those who are working hard to further the feminist cause today.

For nearly 30 years, Madonna has been at the center of the media spotlight. She has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, launched her own record label, headlined an Oscar-award-winning film, authored bestselling books for both adults and children, inspired global street-fashion trends, and instigated international debates over a range of feminist issues from sexual fetish to adoption ethics. Masterfully harnessing her talent and power to navigate her ascent to stardom, she has become the very definition of iconic. She has also been a constant companion. In Madonna and Me, more than forty women write about Madonna’s influence on their lives. No subject goes unexplored—from sex and money to fashion and identity, the stories are just as brazen, bold, and balls-to-the-wall as Madonna. They explore the evolution of her chameleonlike personas—material girl and “boy-toy” tartlet, kooky Kabbalist and savvy businesswoman, siren and mother—and her impact on culture as a groundbreaking feminist. Of course, not all women worship at her altar, and likewise the essays in Madonna and Me are brutally honest, funny, engaging, and real. They delve into the hearts, souls, memories, and moments of contemporary women, celebrating the ways in which Madonna has inspired us and challenged us, pushing us to be bolder, edgier, braver versions of ourselves.

''Estamos vivendo novos tempos: a discussão sobre os direitos das mulheres não se concentra mais em grupos específicos e a luta feminista amplia seu debate na sociedade. Da violência contra a mulher à cultura do estupro, uma série de questões é tema de conversas frequentes na mídia e nas redes sociais. Mas como chegamos até aqui? Quem nos ajudou nessa trajetória? Lute como uma Garota reúne o perfil de figuras importantes da militância feminista, abrangendo das pioneiras do século XVIII às estrelas pop dos dias de hoje, como Frida Kahlo, Simone de Beauvoir, Oprah Winfrey e Madonna, além de nomes essenciais da luta no Brasil, apresentando um pouco de nossa história. Com prefácio de Mary Del Priore, apresentação de Nana Queiroz e todo ilustrado, Lute como uma Garota mostra a força das mulheres.''
