And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow; she finds the resolve to speak, however she can-in a whisper, in song, in broken English-until she is heard"--; Subjects: Bildungsromans.; Young women;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
