-description: Two girls risk everything to be heard at a NYC high school by starting a club to focus on women’s rights because they are so tired of the way women are treated, even at their progressive school. Their online platform consists of poems, essays, and videos of their poetry readings and responses to negative experiences. They receive support, but they also receive online trolls, and the principal shuts the club down.
