In Why Girls' Schools Matter, Whitney "Whitty" Ransome writes about her 20-year involvement with the National Coalition of Girls' Schools (NCGS), now the International Coalition of Girls' Schools, a nonprofit that helped reverse the decline of girls' schools that began in the 1970s. Ransome draws from personal experience growing up in an era that put girls in second place and tells how that experience informed her decision to spend her career advocating for the education of girls and women. As a result of her work, she co-found and co-directed NCGS with Meg Moulton. Part memoir, part history, the book tells the story of how a handful of girls' school leaders launched a movement that transformed girls' education around the world. The entrepreneurial organization shaped by Ransome and Moulton was based on collaboration, research, and outreach. The formula they crafted offers a timely reminder of the power of partnership.
