Strength is the new beauty

A powerful message about what it takes to raise a strong, confident girl. In the 175 photos in Strength Is the New Beauty , you'll see empowered, funny, adventurous, assertive, loud, and creative girls. Girls who love sports and girls who love the arts. Warriors. Survivors. Girls with calloused feet in ballet slippers and girls wearing soccer jerseys. Defiant and proud girls, showing off their scars, messy hair, and grimy feet. Girls snuggled on the couch, playing outdoors, claiming their independence in the face of adversity, singing and playing instruments. This book captures their essence in words and smiles, with photographs that inspire—and serve as proof of the maxim that it's what we are inside that counts.
