Emma Watson: The Fantastically Feminist (and Totally True) Story of the Astounding Actor and Activist (Hardback)

This is an empowering book for young girls about fighting inequality, in particular gender inequality, but linked to the life of role model Emma Watson who is passionate about just that. Using Emma Watson as a role model is great as she will always be a young girl in the Harry Potter films, so readers can associate with her, a fellow young girl, easily.

This book talks through Emma’s life taking the form of a timeline. It starts in 1990 with her birth, 1995 with school, 1999 with Harry Potter, 2009 with university then concentrates on her work in feminism (and more). In 2014 she becomes the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. In 2015 she is Belle in Beauty and the Beast where “Emma enthusiastically works to make Belle a positive character that girls can look up to.” In 2016 she sets up Our Shared Space, a feminist book group, giving people a safe place to talk about these issues when they might not have anyone to talk to at home, and so on.

Feminism is defined in simple words for children too: “Really it is just campaigning for men and women to be treated equally.”
