Pages : 116
Book Description
Nostalgia is a funny thing, isn’t it? Sometimes it reminds us of a period in the past that makes us so very unhappy but sometimes brings to mind, things that gave us the most happiness. These memories, good or bad, are the only things we will be carrying with us, no matter where life takes us. These memories are what make us who we are. I am eighteen years old and going off to college and even though the world would call me an “adult,” I still feel like I have so much left to see and learn. Join me, Alisha, as I take a walk down memory lane to a time when teenage drama was at its peak, hashtags were not “cool,” the battle with acne was never-ending, feelings for a boy wavered more than an opera singer’s voice, when friends and family did not mean two different things, and every single problem seemed to be the end of the world. Stand with me as I recollect every blunder I committed and be sure to smile with me as I remember all the high moments in life. For all you know, you might even be able to relate to a thing or two. So sit back, relax, and forget all about your drama as you read about mine. Love, Just Another Teenage Girl.

Just a Girl
Author: Carrie Mesrobian
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062349937
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Taking a hard look at the societal constraints on teenage girls, Morris Award nominee Carrie Mesrobian tells one girl’s story with bracing honesty and refreshing authenticity. By her senior year of high school, Rianne has exhausted all the fun there is to have in small-town Wereford, Minnesota. Volleyball season is winding down, the parties feel tired, and now that she’s in a serious relationship with reformed player Luke Pinsky, her wild streak has ended. Not that she ever did anything worse than most guys in her school...but she knows what everyone thinks of her. Including her parents. Divorced but now inexplicably living together again, Rianne wonders why they’re so quick to point out every bad choice she’s making when they can’t even act like adults—or have the decency to tell Rianne whether or not they’re getting back together. With an uncomfortable home life and her once-solid group of friends now dissolving, the reasons for sticking around after high school are few. So why is Rianne locking step when it comes to figuring out her future? That’s not the only question Rianne can’t answer. Lately she’s been wondering why, when she has a perfect-on-paper boyfriend, she wants anything but. Or how it is that Sergei, a broken-English-speaking Russian, understands her better than anyone who’s known her all her life? And—perhaps the most troubling question—why has Rianne gotten stuck with an “easy girl” reputation for doing the same exact things as guys without any judgment? Carrie Mesrobian, acclaimed author of Sex & Violence and Cut Both Ways, sets fire to the unfair stereotypes and contradictions that persist even in the twenty-first century.

Just a Girl
Author: Lucinda Jackson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1631526634
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Just A Girl is the sensitive, personal story of the author’s ambition to become and succeed as a scientist during the “white man in power” era of the 1950s to 2010s. In the male-dominated science world, she struggles from girlhood unworthiness to sexist battles in jobs on the farms and in the restaurants of America, in academia’s laboratories and field research communities, and in the executive corner office. Jackson overcomes pain, shame, and self-blame, learns to believe in herself when others don’t, and becomes a champion for others. The turbulent legal and social background of sexual harassment and sexism in America over seven decades is delivered as “history with emotion.” Just a Girl is also a call to action: it identifies the court cases and lawsuits that helped advance the cultural changes we see today; outlines the pressing need for a Boys and Men Liberation (BAML) movement; highlights new approaches by parents; advocates for changes in our universities; and suggests a different direction for corporate America to take to stop the cycle of sexual harassment. Eye-opening and inspiring, it points the way to a brighter future for women everywhere.
