Girls Succeed! Stories Behind the Careers of Successful Women

To empower girls to make their dream jobs come true.

In the Girls Succeed! eBook, Olympic hockey player Angela Ruggiero wasn't allowed to play ice hockey with the boys, but she sure showed them she could do the job as good and even better than the boys. 

Horticulturalist Sharon Loving relished digging in the dirt and growing plants and flowers. Boys aren't the only ones who can get dirty.

HeforShe is a program sponsored by the United Nations to achieve gender-equality worldwide.

Do you believe boys AND girls can excel in the same subjects in the classroom?

You can help to turn your classroom into an opportunity for change by being aware of gender-biased language used by students and instructors. You can also help to stop bullying in your school and online.

Do you like to play games online?

Online bullies want your silence. Enlist your friends and followers to send messages of support to victims of social media trolling. You’ll help turn the internet into a safe space for everyone.

Be Safe Online 
Here are some tips to make your online experience a good one for you and for your friends. 

• Follow the family rules, and those set by the Internet service provider.
• Never post or trade personal pictures.
• Never reveal personal information, such as address, phone number, or school name or location.
• Use only a screen name and don't share passwords (other than with parents).
• Never agree to get together in person with anyone met online without parent approval and/or supervision.
• Never respond to a threatening email, message, post, or text.
• Always tell a parent or other trusted adult about any communication or conversation that was scary or hurtful.

Strong, Smart & Bold by Carla Fine

An amazon reviewer's favorite quote from Strong, Smart, and Bold: Empowering Girls for Life--"The best way to inspire a girl to be strong, smart and bold is to help her think through her options and decide what she wants. Our investment is in making sure that when a girl runs up against the status quo and is told "Girls can't do that" or "Women aren't built for that" she will come back with, "Oh yeah?" and then do it anyway--her way."

Have you ever had to assert your girl power in a sitation? I love that campaign about "throwing like a girl." The girls in the video throw the ball perfectly, and prove that throwing like a girl or running like a girl is just fine!

When Angela Ruggiero was nine years old, her dad said the coach told him she couldn't play in an ice hockey tournament because she was a girl. Although she was heartbroken, she didn't give up on the game. Instead she determined to do even more to hone her skills and talent to become an outstanding college athlete and eventually an Olympics gold winner recipient.
