Without a doubt, Greta Thunberg is an important catalyst for climate change, as she has inspired activists across the Globe to start their own Climate Strike movements. This book highlights the work of over thirty Fridays for Future youth climate leaders, along with dozens of other youth activists working for organizations with similar goals. Greta and thousands of young reformers are struggling daily for our future. This book examines the resilience and power of over one hundred of these female voices through their resistance to the fossil fuel industry, and actions to address local apathy. It explores the Global impact that local campaigners are having by mobilizing millions to demand climate accountability and environmental action. 

The one hundred and five female activists profiled in this book are mostly young, in their 20s and 30s. A few are in their teens. All are passionate about the environment and climate action. We tried to focus on a diversity of female voices and issues, and campaigners from dozens of countries are represented here. The book profiles the work of reformers from the Global South whose actions are seldom acknowledged in the Western mainstream media.
