In this impassioned book, Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues, gives voice to girls of all colors, creeds, and nationalities as they cope with various social and political issues worldwide. Ensler writes fictional monologues, dialogues, poems and stories that give an account of what some girls go through in this day and age. The text in this book is inspired by girls around the globe who are dealing with issues such as: peer pressure, slavery, violence, and other real life problems. Some of the topics include a suburban girl dealing with popularity among her peers, a teenage Chinese factory worker who assembles Barbie doll heads all day, and an African young woman who goes out for a fun time with her friends one day and returns home two years later with her baby after being kidnapped as a sexual slave to a war lord. There are “Girl Facts” sprinkled throughout the chapters that enlighten the reader to statistics that are related to the forthcoming chapter. Ensler is an impassioned purveyor of information whose messages will empower readers and show the universal plight and strength of young women worldwide. This is a “can’t put down book” that should be in every high school library. Recommended for Tristate Books of Note. This is a “can’t put down book” that should be in every high school library.
