Emma's preface:
'I will preface this 의해 saying - anything that makes navigating being a teenage girl even slightly easier is a godsend. This book is not for the faint-hearted (think lots of swearing, pictures of vaginas and "patriarchy busting"), but frankly I think that might be what we need - a book that unapologetically addresses what teenage girls are really dealing with. Don't understand what your teenage daughter is going through or, even if 당신 do, how to help her tackle it? This is the book for 당신 and for her. So necessary. SO timely. Thorough. Straightforward. Well researched. Intelligent. 0% patronizing. Hopefully we can save a few 더 많이 women some years of self-loathing and "what's wrong with me" questions.'
Book's description:
They told 당신 당신 need to be thin and beautiful.
They told 당신 to wear longer skirts, avoid going out late at night and 옮기기 in groups - never accept drinks from a stranger, and wear shoes 당신 can run in 더 많이 easily than heels.
They told 당신 to wear just enough make-up to look presentable but not enough to be a slut; to dress to flatter your apple, pear, hourglass figure, but not to be too tarty.
They warned 당신 that if 당신 try to be strong, 또는 take control, you'll be shrill, bossy, a ballbreaker. Of course it's fine for the boys, but 당신 should know your place.
They told 당신 'that's not for girls' - 'take it as a compliment' - 'don't rock the boat' - 'that'll go straight to your hips'.
They told 당신 'beauty is on the inside', but 당신 knew they didn't really mean it.
Well I'm here to tell 당신 something different.
Hilarious, jaunty and bold, GIRL UP exposes the truth about the pressures surrounding body image, the false representations in media, the complexities of a sex and relationships, the trials of social media and all the other lies they told us.
