Fight Like a Girl has no patience for a phrase that was ever meant to sound insulting. The energy is fearless, spirited, and wonderfully defiant—the kind of confidence that appears before anyone has time to explain why she should doubt herself.

There is innocence here, but never helplessness. Strength is still being discovered, practiced, and claimed one round at a time. Fight Like a Girl reminds us that courage does not wait for adulthood, permission, or a more convenient outfit.
