Better Connected: How Girls are Using Social Media for Good

Theme: This book highlights how girls can harness social media for positive change, activism, and community building, acting as a guide to becoming a responsible digital citizen. It focuses on the constructive, empowering, and creative ways young women use online platforms for social justice, environmental advocacy, and self-expression. This daughter-mother duo captures two generations of ideas about what social media can harm and create. The possibilities for being connected, learning a language as a refugee, gaining understanding of cultural mores, creating an app to connect people with a rare disease, and getting a plastic bag ban in Bali make convincing stories that social media for good is happening.
