Synopsis: What do the lives of teenage girls look like in Cambodia and Kenya, in Mongolia and the Midwest? What do they worry about and dream of? What happens on an ordinary day?
All around the world, girls are going to school, working, creating, living as sisters, daughters, friends. Yet we know so little about their daily lives. We hear about a few exceptional girls who make headlines, and we hear about headline-making struggles and catastrophes. But since the health, education, and success of girls so often determines the future of a community, why don’t we know more about what life is like for the ordinary girls, the ones living outside the headlines? From the Americas to Europe to Africa to Asia to the South Pacific, the thirty-one teens from twenty-nine countries in Girlhood Around the World share their own stories of growing up through diary entries and photographs. They invite us into their day-to-day lives, through their eyes and in their voices, in a full-color, exuberantly designed scrapbook-like volume.
Review: I really like this book. I think that this is a good book for a lot of teens to read especially girls who are the target demographic here. the book does well to show how different teens live in different parts of the world and I really like how they did that. They focused on ordinary teens in ordinary lives and it made the book something extraordinary. At the heart of the book you really will realize that while we have a ton of differences between each other, we all basically have the same dreams and wants.
Verdict: it was good!
