This is a children&rsquo;s book written as a tale for the empowerment of girls and women. An alternative to the myth of the hyper individual Hero. Whilst relying on fiction, her tales easily reads as both a call for action against capitalist destruction of our earth, as well as a manifest for a collaborative utopia in which shared responsibilities are balanced through specific perspectives and talents. The future will be challenging, but if we work together, there is some hope of figuring it out.<br /><br /><b>Malin Ryberg</b> is the Author and Illustrator of The Girl with the Flying Shuttle.
