They told her that her body belonged to men and her mind didn't matter. They were wrong. <i><br/><br/>''What if I don't want to marry?'' Lillian held her breath. She had never said the words out loud.</i><i><br/>''Not want to marry?'' Her aunt frowned. ''What else would you do?''</i><br/><br/>Set in a Ugandan village, Lilian has learned to shrink herself to fit other people's ideas of what a girl is. In her village a girl is not meant to be smarter than her brother. A girl is not meant to go to school or enjoy her body or decide who to marry. Especially if she is poor.<br/><br/>Inspired by and written in consultation with young Ugandan women, <i>I Am Change</i> is the tragic but empowering story of how a young girl finds her voice and the strength to fight for change.
