Showing results for "Girlhood" in Social Sciences

When her body began to change at 11 years old, Febos understood immediately that her meaning to other people had changed with it. By her teens, she defined herself based on these perceptions and by the romantic relationships she threw herself into headlong. Over time, Febos increasingly questioned the stories she’d been told about herself and the habits and defences she’d developed over years of trying to meet others’ expectations.

In Breath Better Spent, DaMaris B. Hill hoists her childhood self onto her shoulders, together taking in the landscape of Black girlhood in America. At a time when Black girls across the country are increasingly vulnerable to unjust violence, unwarranted incarceration, and unnoticed disappearance, Hill chooses to celebrate and protect the girl she carries. Jelly sandals, Double Dutch beats, and chipped nail polish bring the breath of laughter; in adolescence, pomegranate lips, turntables, and love letters to other girls' boyfriends bring the breath of longing.

Acclaimed author Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior broke new ground when it was first published 35 years ago, weaving autobiography, history, folklore, and fantasy in to a candid and revelatory story about the daughter of Chinese immigrants in mid-20th century California.

Es gibt viele wichtige Bücher über Feminismus. Aber keine ihrer Autorinnen hat derart viele Leben gelebt wie Melissa Febos: glückliche Kindheit auf Cape Cod, mit zwanzig heroinabhängig, das Studium finanziert als Domina. Heute führt sie ein bürgerliches Leben und unterrichtet an der Universität. In "Girlhood" schließt Melissa Febos Memoir mit Theorie, Soziologie mit Poesie kurz und erkundet die Gemeinsamkeiten aller Lebensphasen. Sie findet beunruhigend eindrückliche Beispiele, wie Frauen von klein auf darauf konditioniert sind, an ihrer eigenen Herabwürdigung mitzuwirken.

Cultural commentary of Girlhood by a couple of folx who had a weird one

Co-hosted by teenagers Erica Buening and Reagan Hunter, two girls take a deep dive into everything about life. Whether it be boys, friends, or trends, they discuss it all. Girlhood can relate to anything, after all… it’s a podcast for the girls, by girls.

Which American Girl are you? Are you a Molly (patriotic overachiever)? Felicity (horse girl)? Kirsten (cottagecore fan who seems immune to cholera), Samantha (savior complex in a sailor suit), or Josefina (who dealt with grief by befriending a baby goat)? Have you ever wondered how Britney Spears or Michelle Kwan would answer that question? And why do we care so much which girl we are? Combining history, travelogue, and memoir, Dolls of Our Lives follows Allison Horrocks and Mary Mahoney on an unforgettable journey to the past as they delve into the origins of this iconic brand.

This groundbreaking book introduces a new branch of theological thought Adams calls womanish, as a play on the womanist tradition (the theology of Black womanhood). "Womanish," remembers Adams, is a term Black mothers used for young girls as they grew more interested in doing grown-up things. Adams draws on her own life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls to explore theological concepts such as Scripture, theodicy, salvation, prayer, neighborly love, and the image of God.
