Reading this book, I jumped up and down with excitement. I kept turning the pages until I had read every one of the true stories. My brain revved into high speed as I learned about girls and women, problem solving and innovating, with resulting programs like Teach for America, Childline India, RandomKid, and Technovation Challenge. What could I do? How could I make a difference?
