Life Lessons Require Lessons on Life

One of the my favorite lessons was to learn from other’s mistakes.

Feminists for Life’s Girls Deserve Better Instagram and website share these life lessons with teen girls to Empower and Protect, Inspire and Inform.

As parents prepare to send them to school, I thought you would appreciate these messages and new articles:

Pink graphic with the text Check Out Strategies for Your Academic Success

Our Girls Deserve Better intern Gabriella writes a new article for tips for academic success.

Want to get more involved and build leadership skills? This article helps teens get a head start leading a club.


A black graphic with text on it that says Respect is more enduring than attraction.
A pink graphic that says forgiving ourselves is one of the hardest things we may need to do.

A graphic with a photo of a dog in sunglasses and eating popcorn on the couch. The text says Don't over schedule yourself. Give yourself a break by planning for breaks!
A photo of someone typing on a smartphone with the text overlaid that says Be careful what you post or put your name to; it's a reflection of who you are.

A graphic that says Pour your heart into whatever you do!
A photo of a butterfly with text superimposed on it that says Realizing you've failed gives you a chance to start fresh.

A photo of a woman looking at the ocean with the text superimposed that says No matter what, you are meant for greatness.

All this leads to our next steps in high schools. Many are already in session in some parts of the country.

With the help of supporters like you, we are offering free tailor made kits for pro-life clubs across the country!

A photo showing issues of The American Feminist, You Are Forever Priceless stickers, and pamphlets. There is text that says Pro-woman, pro-life high school student leaders and advisers are invited to order your FREE Girls Deserve Better Kit NOW!

So whether they host a school-wide assembly to watch a virtual speaker or video, a club meeting, or tabling for club day to reach more of their peers.

Feminists for Life is here to equip them with stickers for their laptop, locker, and car. We have brochures informing them of our rich pro-woman, pro-life history, and much more.

We have enjoyed having two smart and caring high school interns this summer. Gabriella is new to FFL and Clare, who returned after interning last year, also staffed our booth again at the Celebrate Life Conference.

Both contributed to the Girls Deserve Better initiative, and each have been given the opportunity to have their work published in our next issue of The American Feminist!

They sacrificed their summer giving to others, passing what they’ve learned forward.

Please support this program with a gift in any amount as kits will vary greatly depending on their event. Thank you.

Passing on life lessons only happen when there is life itself. Advocating for holistic, women-centered solutions is imperative. Onward.

Because women—and girls—deserve better,
