Building on her groundbreaking research that exposed how schools systemically fail Black girls, Dr. Monique Couvson expands her lens in Girls, Unlimited, exploring the many ways our society overlooks the unique experiences and needs of all girls. Interweaving heartwarming and heart-wrenching stories from her own life and career with interviews with other high-profile advocates, and insightful anecdotes about the girls she’s connected with around the world, Dr. Couvson offers a powerful critique of the many ways girls have been historically underinvested in—especially as compared to boys, and particularly when decision-makers assume investments made in women will trickle down to girls—to make the case for the type of societal investment girls deserve.

Monique Couvson, EdD (formerly Monique W. Morris), president/CEO of G4GC and co–founder of the National Black Women’s Justice Institute, is the author of several books, including Pushout; Black Stats; Sing a Rhythm, Dance a Blues; and Charisma’s Turn (all from The New Press). Her work has been featured by TIME, NPR, The New York Times, MSNBC, Essence, The Atlantic, TED, The Washington Post, Education Week, and others.
