Girlhood by Melissa Febos

4.25

I got a lot out of this book. Although much of what Febos covers is not necessarily new to feminists or simply women, I think she articulates her experiences really really effectively and profoundly. She’s also just such a great, engaging, beautiful writer. Highly recommend

I read this for my Graphic Novels class - I’m so glad I had the excuse to analyze it in-depth. TBWCD is just stunning. So much thought, emotion, conversation, learning, and labor went into this story and it’s incredibly layered. It will stay with me for years to come.
