Abstract
Historically, girls and young women have been excluded from political activity. Yet in 2018 they began engaging politically in large numbers globally. How can we explain this and the leadership roles so many now play? After describing what has been happening, I consider whether there are gender elements operating. Has the growing awareness of gender inequity and sexual violence signified, for example, by the MeToo movement encouraged some young women’s political engagement? There is, however, no strong evidence that concern about global warming matters more. Other factors like the “participatory condition” enabled by new technologies and recruitment practices, along with the “homophily” principle, novel role modeling, and a politics of solidarity, also help explain why so many girls and young women are now building new collectives, and creating new social imaginaries. All this signals something exceptional is taking place and changing how politics is conceptualized and practiced.
