What is Girls : an Anthology about?

An Anthology explores and celebrates what it is to be a girl growing up in our culture. The fifty voices heard in this collection evoke the extraordinary range and complexity of this experience, and in the process redefine traditional notions of girlhood. Through memoirs, stories, poems, essays, letters and interviews, girls describe their triumphs and losses, heartaches and joys. They speak as mothers, sisters, daughters and friends-about themselves and one another. Also included are two fathers, on their relationships with their daughters. The writers featured range in age from fourteen to over eighty, and reflect a rich diversity of experience and identity. In addition to work by such well-known writers as Sandra Cisneros, Mary Gordon, Jamaica Kincaid, Thomas Lux, Honor Moore, Tillie Olsen, Grace Paley and Alex Kates Schulman-several of whom contributed an original piece-Girls introduces writers whose work appears here in print for the first time.

The journeys recorded here are both familiar and startling. They will remind some
