Defiant dreams : the journey of an Afghan girl who risked everything for education / by Mahfouz, Sola,1996-author.; Kapoor, Malaina,author.;
"A searing, deeply personal memoir of a tenacious Afghan girl who educated herself behind closed doors and fought her way to a new life. Sola Mahfouz was born in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 1996. That same year, the Taliban took over her country for the first time. They banned television and photographs, presided over brutal public executions, and turned the clock backwards on women's rights, practically imprisoning women within their own homes and forcing them to wear cruel, tent-like burqas. At age eleven, Sola was forced to stop attending school after a group of men threatened to throw acid in her face if she continued. After that she was confined to her home, required to cook and clean and prepare for an arranged marriage. She saw the outside world only a handful of times each year. As time passed, Sola began to understand that she was condemned to the same existence as millions of women in Afghanistan. Her future was empty. The rest of her life would be controlled entirely by men, fathers and husbands and sons who would never allow her to study, to earn money, or even to dream. Driven by this devastating realization, Sola began a years-long fight to change the trajectory of her life. She decided that education would be her way out. At age sixteen, without even a basic ability to add or subtract, she began secretly to teach herself math and English. She progressed rapidly, and within just two years she was already studying topics such as philosophy and physics. Faced with obstacles at every turn, Sola still managed to sneak into Pakistan to take the SAT. In 2016, she escaped to the United States, where she is now a quantum computing researcher at Tufts University. An engrossing, dramatic memoir, co-written with young Indian American human rights activist Malaina Kapoor, Defiant Dreams is the story of one girl, but it's also the untold story of a generation of women brimming with potential and longing for freedom"--

Beyond bananas and condoms : the LGBTQIA+ inclusive sex education you never got at school / by Whitnell, Dee,author,illustrator.;
"Whatever your age, gender or identity -- there's one thing we seem to all have in common: how little we learnt in school about sex, relationships, gender identity, and sexuality. This sex-positive resource aims to provide the inclusive sex education you didn't get in the classroom -- complete with illustrations that show our beautiful, baffling bodies in all their glory. With chapters on gender, sexuality and expression, genitalia and hormones, sexual health and contraception, and the importance of boundaries and consent -- this comprehensive guide celebrates identities of all kinds -- and embraces the difference between cisgender and gender-diverse experiences. If your school sex-ed was much too cishet, this is the shame-free guide you need to explore bodies, boundaries and pleasure -- without a banana in sight"--
