Book Review: Girls Resist!

Girls Resist! is an activism handbook for girls who want to try and make some change in the world.  One of the ways to fight back mentioned in the book was to see what kind of unconscious bias you have. I took the Career & Family test and was told “Your data suggests a moderate automatic association for Male with Career and Female with Family.”  Some of the others I took did not give me the answers I “expected” to get.  You can see your biases for yourself at implicit.harvard.edu!

At the end of each chapter where it discusses an issue that girls might face, there is always a way to “fight back!” listed and ways to do it and be involved within your community to help fix some of these issues.

I think this book is a great read for young girls who might feel like they don’t matter and their voice is not being heard. It gives a lot of ways to help get them to realize that they do matter and they can be heard as well as some ways to get out there and resist!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.  This book was released on August 7, 2018 from Quirk Books.

Product Review: Design Cap

PearlMountain is at is again with another great website.  This time I hav tried out their DesignCap website which is a free poster maker designed to help users create custom posters in minutes – you don’t need to have any graphics skills (and we know I really don’t.)
There are hundreds of professionally designed templates available and within about 10 minutes I had 4 posters created that will probably be printed and make their way into my scrapbook as mini poster embellishments but could also be used to promote local shows and events that you may have coming up. And that was without even looking through all of the content that is available to try and come up with other great poster combinations.
In addition, some features include:
* Thousands of stock photos, clipart images, shapes, fonts, and backgrounds.
* Fully customizable features.
* Completely free to use.
* Localized into 7 languages:English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, French, Chinese.
Here are the posters I tossed together in just minutes! Feel free to check it out for yourself at https://www.designcap.com.
I was asked to review this website. The website is free for all to use and I did not receive any compensation. All opinions are 100% my own.
