Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape by Peggy Orenstein

4.0

Thought provoking examination of current issues surrounding, well,... girls and sex. There's an incendiary aspect to all of this (this is definitely one of those books that you first read in a provocative essay in the NYTimes Sunday Revie) and I found myself at several points wanting to see the issue in a less binary, reductive fashion. But in the final chapter, I found the approach of Charise Denison toward the topic to be inspiring - especially the idea of revise, reflect, redraft as it applies to young peoples experiences with sex, relationships, (as well as drugs and alcohol).
