From Taylor Swift's The Era's Tour to Barbiemania, this nostalgia for girlhood has become a billion-dollar business, seen in the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, and the 2000s movies (and their long-awaited sequels) we watch on repeat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut at a time when women's rights are being rewritten, this resurgence in girlhood is complicated. Women are caught between a genuine desire to relive the wild freedom, joy and safety found in girlhood, while facing an ever-growing pressure to hold onto their youth. The world demands women continue to look like girls, yet they are rarely given the space to actually \u003ci\u003ebe\u003c\/i\u003e girls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eI'm Just a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Jess Bacon introduces readers to the 'second girlhood', the extended adolescence that adult women have crafted for themselves as a means to reconnect with the part of themselves they left behind: the girl. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReconnecting with our inner girl is an empowering act of rebellion, allowing us to reclaim what was once taken from us. Jess shows us how our second girlhood offers a return to creativity and play that can ultimately improve our relationships, our mental wellbeing and establish a renewed sense of self. For far too long we have been presented with a false choice between womanhood and girlhood - this book is a celebration of a new way of being where we can fully embrace both.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67665952178334,"sku":"ADS-9780349447025","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780349447025.jpg?v=1792644261","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780349447025","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
