Author Courtney Summers launched the hashtag #ToTheGirls on April 14, the same day that her YA novel All the Rage was released. She urges women to share their best pieces of advice to young women seeking guidance and affirmation.

In her blog about the initiative, Summers says: 

Women on twitter followed the call. Here JWB picked some really encouraging pieces:

#ToTheGirls your body is yours; not your boyfriend's or your parents' or your girlfriend's or your doctor's or the government's — YOURS.

#ToTheGirl never underestimate yourself just because someone else did, because you are damn powerful

#ToTheGirls Other girls aren’t your competition – for boys, for jobs, for LIFE. They are your allies. Support each other.

#tothegirls Don't give up. If you're told "This isn't right but try again," hear the "try again" as clearly as the "not right."

#ToTheGirls When you speak passionately, people will love to tell you that you're "too loud." Keep speaking. Speak louder.

#ToTheGirls The mistakes you made do not shape who you are. They are NOT who you are. Forgive yourself, love yourself, and let them go.

#ToTheGirls: You have a right to finish your sentence, to finish your schooling, to finish your meal. No apology necessary.

#ToTheGirls Your gender does not define or limit you. Reach for greatness. Fight for it every day, in every way you can.

#ToTheGirls Being a feminist doesn't mean you're a guy-hater or don't like pretty things. It means your eyes are open to the humanity of all

#tothegirls Never apologize for your accomplishments. You've earned them. Confidence does not equal conceit.

#ToTheGirls Don't be tricked into thinking there are "boys' things" and "girls' things. If something strikes your fancy, go and explore it.

#ToTheGirls Apologize when you've done wrong. But don't apologize for being you, for defending yourself, for having a voice.
