This collection of photography and essays/articles about girls and young women is fantastic but also incredibly depressing. I can't imagine how hard it would be to raise a young girl right now.

Love this book sm. Made me feel less alone about having insecurities regarding my body. Knowing that I'm not the only one makes me feel less alone. Knowing that there are companies, marketing teams and many other people who find ways to make me despise myself is actually comforting. In the sense that the problem doesn't lie in me. My body is fine and others want ME to hate it for THEIR own benefit. Therefore, I don't have to listen to them. The problem is beyond me that I, in fact, have nothing to do with it. This book also opened my eyes to eating disorders which is very enriching since I got to hear from real people's experiences. I'll end with Ashlee's quote saying "The way you are is the way you're meant to be". :)

Definitely the first photojournalism book I ever loved. It changed the way I saw myself and my world.

Greenfield's collection of photographs and testimonials about modern American Girlhood made me incredibly sad. An informative read for anyone raising young women today.
