Real Girl Real World

ABOUT THE BOOK We wrote Real Girl/Real World, because it is a resource that we would have liked to have read growing up. The book explores: beauty standards and the media; body image and self-esteem; eating disorders and good nutrition; sex and sexuality; and feminism and today's activists. It's full of real girls' experiences, showing that there is no one way to navigate the twisting road of adolescence.

Samantha and I are having our first New York City reading and discussion of the new edition this Monday, June 20th. We will talk about why we wrote our teen girl guidebook, the issues that girls are facing today, and how we got published.

Intested in any of these things? We would love to have you there!!

DIRECTIONS

Bluestockings is located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan at 172 Allen Street between Stanton and Rivington - which is 1 block south of Houston and 1st Avenue.
