Overall, I would recommend this book to young girls and teens. I think this book would really resonate with them and would make a great gift.

This YA book is a collection of quotes from famous women whom Schnall interviewed. The book is aimed at young women but some advice is universal, such as being a feminist, voting, influence of the media, funding your true authentic self, being passionate about something, and being a leader. This would make a nice gift. I skimmed certain arts as it seemed a bit repetitive in certain parts.

The book just feels like the new Chicken Soup of the soul series or style of books. It had stories and essay that work for young girls to find inspiring. This book is target for young girls but women of all ages can find inspirations from the stories.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of Marianne Schnall Dare to Be You.

I really enjoy books that are styled like this. A collection of essays, thoughts, or interviews from people all over who got a story to tell. I enjoyed reading and connecting with each person's story getting a sense of who they are and what inspires them.

Women, it seems, has always been the underdog in this world. Women have a lot of expectations to live up to and we are under a microscope, with society picking and pulling us apart to be this way or that. It's hard to have a voice that stands out from the rest. This book allowed the women to be true to themselves and get their messages across.

We need more books like this so others can see where we women, are coming from. I salute her from creating and piecing together this masterpiece.

As a teen librarian I am always looking for books to give to teens to don't feel confident in themselves. This is one of those books. It is an easy read and you can skip around to different topics or issues if you feel the need. I think teen girls will like this book and find that it isn't overbearing with advice.
