Gender reveal parties? Out. Feminist upbringing? Totally in. Case in point: Loryn Brantz\u2019s web-comic turned best-selling book, \u201cFeminist Baby.\u201d Aimed at young children and toddlers, Brantz proves its never too early to preach about equality. And if you can add a little bit of wit to your feminist teaching – all the better.\n\n\n\n
\u201cFeminist Baby is very much for babies,\u201d she told Parents Magazine. \u201cIt\u2019s colorful and fun and certainly doesn\u2019t explain all the nuances of feminism. That said, it\u2019s one of the only books ever to try to introduce feminism to babies.\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople don\u2019t realize how important early reading is,\u201d explained Brantz. \u201cIt\u2019s in just the simple things throughout the book, like Feminist Baby saying \u2018no\u2019 to things and being proud of being smart is SO IMPORTANT for children to see.\u201d\n\n\n\n A two-time Emmy Award-winning illustrator and designer, Loryn has worked for clients that include The Jim Henson Company, HarperCollins, Disney-Hyperion, and Facebook. She currently writes and illustrates for BuzzFeed, pushing forward subjects like body image and feminism with a dab of humor. \n\n\n\n Check out some of her work (feminist and otherwise) in the gallery below.\n\n\n\n
