She was fifteen. In 1912, women’s rights activists organized a massive march in support of women’s suffrage. Leading them up Fifth Avenue in Manhattan was not one of the mothers of the movement, but a teenage Chinese immigrant named Mabel Ping-Hua Lee. Half a century before the better-known movements for workers’ rights began, over 1,500 girls—some as young as ten—walked out of factories in Lowell, Massachusetts, demanding safer working conditions and higher wages in one of the nation’s first-ever labor strikes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYoung women have been disenfranchised and discounted, but the true retelling of major social movements in America reveals their might: they have ignited almost every single one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYoung and Restless\u003c\/i\u003e recounts one of the most foundational and underappreciated forces in moments of American revolution: teenage girls. From the American Revolution itself to the Civil Rights Movement to nuclear disarmament protests and the women’s liberation movement, through Black Lives Matter and school strikes for climate, Mattie Kahn uncovers how girls have leveraged their unique strengths, from fandom to intimate friendships, to organize and lay serious political groundwork for movements that often sidelined them. Their stories illuminate how much we owe to girls throughout the generations, what skills young women use to mobilize and find their voices, and, crucially, what we can all stand to learn from them.\"This riveting and well-researched book invites us to reexamine the history we’ve been taught and to view teenage girls as a powerful force for change.\"\u003cb\u003e—NPR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Kahn’s study of the role of girls in American social uprising is timely...a reminder of the enduring optimism of youth.\"\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review's\u003c\/i\u003e \"Editors' Choice\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Heartening inspiration can be found in \u003ci\u003eYoung and Restless\u003c\/i\u003e, Mattie Kahn’s thoroughgoing examination of the role of young women and girls in America’s uprisings.\" \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A galvanizing survey of the power of teen girls, from young suffragettes and civil rights advocates to Gen Z'ers fighting for bodily autonomy in post-Roe America.\"—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eVanity Fair \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Kahn makes history poignant and page-turning, telling stories you’ll wish you’d heard in high school.”—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlamour's\u003c\/i\u003e \"The 15 Best Nonfiction Books of 2023, So Far\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Mattie Kahn's \u003ci\u003eYoung and Restless\u003c\/i\u003e feels born of the current moment….a look at why and how girls have been sidelined by history in the past—turned into objects cultural fascination while simultaneously being denied agency and power, especially in the historical record.”—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVogue's \"\u003c\/i\u003eBest Books of 2023 (So Far)\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"History buffs and feminists will relish \u003ci\u003eYoung and Restless \u003c\/i\u003efor its tales of teenage girls who have changed the world\u003ci\u003e...'\u003c\/i\u003eThe process of writing this book has filled me with hope and admiration,' Kahn writes, and it will do the same for any reader.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—InStyle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Mattie Kahn has written a profoundly important book that belongs on numerous library and bookstore shelves, especially those featuring women’s studies, history, and resistance literature.”\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—New York Journal of Books \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fascinating and keenly observed...an engrossing, important book to read—and to give to any young person in your life.”—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTown \u0026amp; Country's \"\u003c\/i\u003eThe 41 Must-Read Books of Summer 2023\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Kahn spotlights the activism of teen girls, with a wealth of examples…Girls, as she has ably demonstrated, are capable of lasting, progressive change.”—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eYoung and Restless\u003c\/i\u003e...[looks] at American history and progress through the lens of teen girls — an often overlooked or dismissed demographic that's had a huge impact on our world, in the civil rights movement, early labor strikes, women's suffrage, and more.\"—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ePowell's 2023 Book Preview, Vol. 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An interesting, overlooked perspective—and a hopeful one.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Harvard Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It’s time to write girls back into the historical record, said Garance Franke-Ruta in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times. \u003c\/i\u003eFirst-time author Mattie Kahn does just that in her inspiring survey of the girls and young women who have fought for political and social change in America.”\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—The Week\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Learn about the teenage girls who made change happen in this country: suffragettes, activists, and unsung young women who stood up for what they thought was right.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—The Philadelphia Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Kahn’s sparkling debut profiles young women who have played leading roles in American protest movements...an inspiring and eye-opening look at how progress happens.\"—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublishers Weekly \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Thoughtful and compassionate\"—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eYoung and Restless \u003c\/i\u003eis inspiring without being sentimental, a lively and engaging read that nonetheless challenges and complicates dusty narratives.
