Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards consider momentum and how we create real and lasting change in our world. 

Chapter 1: Jamila and Astrid consider what momentum actually means.

Chapter 2: Jamila introduces Daring to Drive: A Saudi Woman's Awakening by Manal Al Sharif and reminds us all how much momentum one person can create.

Chapter 3: Astrid makes the case for us all to understand how economies work in this time of global upheaval and recommends Talking to My Daughter: A brief history of capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis.

Recommendations: Astrid recommends two works by older women who have made a difference - Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and What Can I Do? by Jane Fonda. Jamila throws back to the classics and recommends Beloved by Toni Morrison and The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir.
