Reading Girlhood felt like having a spell whispered into my ear. You carve yourself , Melissa Febos writes, and the phrase becomes command, elegy, incantation. In these pages she conjures not only the past, but an allegory of experience at once universal and exquisitely personal. Intimate, urgent, and stunningly beautiful, this is a book that will be passed from hand to hand, from heart to heart., Her whole life, writer Melissa Febos has been forced to understand her body primarily through other people's conceptions of it. If that sounds familiar to you, Girlhood --a mix of investigative reporting, memoir, and scholarship around what it truly means to be a young woman--might be right up your alley. (And if you're a parent struggling to understand what your teenage daughter is going through, it's safe to say this book might help.), Girlhood blazes through the stories we've been told with a dazzling fury and a brilliant beauty. A fuck-all guide to resilience and reclamation, a breathtaking reimagination of who we might be in spite of what we've been told. Girlhood will bring you back to life., At once intimate and didactic, lyric and wise, Girlhood is a must-read hybrid text for women looking to define themselves from the inside. This book is an exorcism of social messaging and external gazes, and Febos is a warm and erudite exorcist., In eight haunting essays, Melissa Febos unearths the trauma of her adolescence as she picks apart the burdens that accompany being a young woman. In sharing the darkness that clouded her coming of age, Febos asks pointed questions about the expectations placed on women and how they impact a person's sense of self., The prose is restrained but lyrical throughout. Raw and unflinching, this dark coming-of-age story impresses at every turn., " Girlhood is an exquisite collection. In lapidary, lucid prose, Melissa Febos dissects the traumas, terrors, and pleasures of the fraught passage from girl to woman. Febos''s insight is devastating, the examinations of her world - from the female body, queerness, consent, slut-shaming, and intimacy - are rigorous and compassionate. This is a book for mothers, daughters, and our deepest selves, a true light in the dark." -- Stephanie Danler, author of SWEETBITTER "In this book, Febos proves herself to be one of the great documenters of the terrible and exquisite depths of girlhood. Here, that terrible and beautiful aeon is dissected, sung over, explored like ancient ruins. These essays are moss and iron-hard and beautiful-and struck through with Febos'' signature brilliance and power and grace. An essential, heartbreaking project." -- Carmen Maria Machado, author of IN THE DREAM HOUSE and HER BODY AND OTHER PARTIES "Melissa Febos is part poet, part theorist, and all writer. In this lyrical, searching, profound, and personal collection, Febos examines childhood, femaleness, and love in its many forms with a sensuous ferocity that is all her own." -- Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not Apply and Female Chauvinist Pigs "Melissa Febos just revived me in the most spectacular way. Girlhood blazes through the stories we''ve been told with a dazzling fury and a brilliant beauty. Whatever we are or were, this is a map to a new becoming. Between the intellect and the body a third term emerges, dissolving binaries and reinventing the space of erotic power and creativity. A fuck-all guide to resilience and reclamation, a breathtaking reimagination of who we might be in spite of what we''ve been told. Girlhood will bring you back to life." -- Lidia Yuknavitch, author of VERGE "At once intimate and didactic, lyric and wise, Girlhood is a must-read hybrid text for women looking to define themselves from the inside. This book is an exorcism of social messaging and external gazes, and Febos is a warm and erudite exorcist." -- Melissa Broder, author of THE PISCES "Reading Girlhood felt like having a spell whispered into my ear. You carve yourself , Melissa Febos writes, and the phrase becomes command, elegy, incantation. In these pages she conjures not only the past, but an allegory of experience at once universal and exquisitely personal. Intimate, urgent, and stunningly beautiful, this is a book that will be passed from hand to hand, from heart to heart." -- Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, author THE FACT OF A BODY "American patriarchy teaches so many of us to hate our own bodies and stifle our own desires-to make ourselves smaller in every way. Girlhood is a smart, fierce, gloriously sensual critique of these lessons by a writer who has fought hard to unlearn them. Thank you, Melissa Febos, for charting this magnificent route of queer feminist resistance!" -- Leni Zumas, author of RED CLOCKS "A gorgeously written, perfectly calibrated investigation into the traps, paths, and challenges of being female in this world. It''s a stunner of a book." -- Jami Attenberg, author of ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS "Lucid and timely...The great surprise of Girlhood is how masterfully Febos reinvents the path to womanhood, a philosopher''s eye turned protectively towards the tenderest parts of the writer''s former self." -- Wendy S. Walters, author of MULTIPLY/ DIVIDE "The prose is restrained but lyrical throughout. Raw and unflinching, this dark coming-of-age story impresses at every turn." -- Publishers Weekly "[ Girlhood ] is an invitation to all people who grew up female, to plunge their own depths and not rescue, but rather recognize and mourn, their former selves, and the selves they could have been if not born into a body the world deemed less worthy than other bodies. Within its pages there are windows, air, sky, from which others can retrieve their own memories, rewrite them, let them go." -- Columbia Journal, Febos is a balletic memoirist whose capacious gaze can take in so many seemingly disparate things and unfurl them in a graceful, cohesive way...she dances deftly between her own autobiography and exposing the pervasive social history that marked--sometimes literally--her personal experiences and those of many, many women., Febos's new collection could be thought of as a song--one whose music speaks to girlhood, lost, now reclaimed. Regardless of gender, one need be simply human to recognize the melody, however faint, of the child lost to the invisible social structures in which we are embedded., " Girlhood is an exquisite collection. In lapidary, lucid prose, Melissa Febos dissects the traumas, terrors, and pleasures of the fraught passage from girl to woman. Febos''s insight is devastating, the examinations of her world - from the female body, queerness, consent, slut-shaming, and intimacy - are rigorous and compassionate.

Walters, author of MULTIPLY/ DIVIDE, Febos' book forces us to linger in the nuances of sexuality, gender, consent, and eroticism.

Walters, author of MULTIPLY/ DIVIDE?, Melissa Febos is part poet, part theorist, and all writer. In this lyrical, searching, profound, and personal collection, Febos examines childhood, femaleness, and love in its many forms with a sensuous ferocity that is all her own., Febos is an intoxicating writer, but I found myself most grateful for the vivid clarity of her thinking . . . disquisitive and catalytic--it doesn't demand change so much as expose certain injustices so starkly that you might feel you cannot abide them another minute . . . I never once needed trigonometry and I couldn't find Catullus in a crossword these days, but Febos' education is a kind I surely could have used., Anyone who has ever been a girl or a woman will recognize the patterns Febos uncovers: the unwanted touch, the expectations of our bodies, the way we become complicit in the traps laid out for us along the way by the patriarchal structures that govern so many of our social, professional, and interpersonal spheres . . . By following Febos' distinct paths between the past and present, we might realize there's room to forge our own, and that we've just been handed a flashlight that helps illuminate the way., An exquisite collection. Febos's insight is devastating, the examinations of her world - from the female body, queerness, consent, slutshaming, and intimacy - are rigorous and compassionate. This is a book for mothers, daughters, and our deepest selves, a true light in the dark., To counter society's patriarchal standards and stereotypes enmesh girls in a web of unreachable expectations of mind, body and soul, Melissa Febos offers ideas to disrupt the normative narratives surrounding girlhood and encourages us to recreate ourselves according to ourselves., "Girlhood is a smart, fierce, gloriously sensual critique." - Leni Zumas, author of RED CLOCKS "An exquisite collection.

This book is an exorcism of social messaging and external gazes, and Febos is a warm and erudite exorcist." -- Melissa Broder, author of THE PISCES "Lucid and timely...The great surprise of Girlhood is how masterfully Febos reinvents the path to womanhood, a philosopher's eye turned protectively towards the tenderest parts of the writer's former self." -- Wendy S. Walters, author of MULTIPLY/ DIVIDE, Her whole life, writer Melissa Febos has been forced to understand her body primarily through other people's conceptions of it. If that sounds familiar to you, GIRLHOOD--a mix of investigative reporting, memoir, and scholarship around what it truly means to be a young woman--might be right up your alley. (And if you're a parent struggling to understand what your teenage daughter is going through, it's safe to say this book might help.), In Girlhood Febos not only offers herself a new playbook, scrutinizing the assumptions she has placed upon herself, she also examines how our culture prizes the narratives of boys over girls, often erasing the girl altogether in favor of a more understandable story. By looking at the social and cultural context in which we become women, this multileveled narrative affirms that our shared attitudes and beliefs about girls and the women we expect them to become are more important than whatever benefits we gain by denying and distorting them. Girlhood offers the plausibility that on the other side of personal and collective awareness lies the choice to play a different game., In each of Girlhood 's essays--which are accompanied by gorgeous illustrations by artist/author Forsyth Harmon--Febos works to interrogate her own behaviors as she navigates relationships, love, sex, and addiction and, bolstered by research and interviews, comes out the other side with a clearer understanding of what it might take to make girlhood a less-destructive experience., GIRLHOOD, the dazzling new essay collection by Melissa Febos, captures the potency of a woman's adolescence--an experience that is at once singular and universal, familiar and uncharted, ordinary and remarkable. By plumbing the depths of her own coming of age, interviewing other women about their early sexual encounters, and interrogating depictions of female sexuality in literature and film, the author unravels the stories women learn to tell--and believe--about themselves., Melissa Febos brings lyric and merciless scrutiny to how women are conditioned to accept misogyny as their due . . . By drawing upon cultural materials for her kaleidoscopic investigation, Febos does for girlhood what Maggie Nelson did for pregnancy in The Argonauts ., Febos is an intoxicating writer, but I found myself most grateful for the vivid clarity of her thinking... disquisitive and catalytic--it doesn't demand change so much as expose certain injustices so starkly that you might feel you cannot abide them another minute...I never once needed trigonometry and I couldn't find Catullus in a crossword these days, but Febos's education is a kind I surely could have used., In this year's best-selling essay collection Girlhood , Febos . . . traces the inheritances of womanhood--the meanings and functions ascribed to the female body, and how we defy them., The harrowing nature of transformation is Girlhood's core subject, and in seven chapters Febos explores the interconnected aspects of patriarchy and the marks that they've left on her . . . The book's centerpiece is a magisterial, seventy-six-page essay on what Febos terms 'empty consent'--not merely agreeing to unwanted sex, but the ways in which women are programmed to collaborate in their own diminishment . . . Febos has some idea of how to break this cycle . . . She is also, perhaps, correcting the story of the girl-dreamer, whose elegy, it turns out, may have been premature--she lives to mother the woman., Febos's book forces us to linger in the nuances of sexuality, gender, consent, and eroticism. Her essays dive deep into all those gray waters of being a girl and then a woman: how self-loathing and self-love can crash against each other, creating a certain kind of dissonance that can take a lifetime to escape, if we ever do. If there is a way out, it might be through books like this one that give us a shared language for all the murky things we as women feel -- but too rarely speak., Combining intimate memoir with eye-opening cultural investigation, Melissa Febos lucidly articulates the infuriating and redemptive ways women's lives are shaped. These seven illuminating essays unpack the experiences of living as a female under the destructive influence of patriarchal norms and warped ideals of femininity., Febos's own voice is so irreverent and original. The aim of this book, though, is not simply to tell about her own life, but to listen to the pulses of many others'. In her author's note, Febos writes that she has 'found company in the stories of other women, and the revelation of all our ordinariness has itself been curative.' This solidarity puts Girlhood in a feminist canon that includes Febos's idol, Adrienne Rich, and Maggie Nelson's theory-minded masterpieces: smart, radical company, and not ordinary at all., What a delight it is to read the new book of a writer you adore and be knocked out all over again. With Girlhood , one of the queer community's favorite writers, Melissa Febos, has written her career-best., Girlhood , the dazzling new essay collection by Melissa Febos, captures the potency of a woman's adolescence--an experience that is at once singular and universal, familiar and uncharted, ordinary and remarkable. By plumbing the depths of her own coming of age, interviewing other women about their early sexual encounters, and interrogating depictions of female sexuality in literature and film, the author unravels the stories women learn to tell--and believe--about themselves., Girlhood is a striking assortment of essays that examine the expectations of womanhood, the forces that perpetuate them, and what it takes to reject these narratives and define one's own life. A genre-bending work that combines journalism, memoir, and scholarship, Girlhood is a sincere and searing guide to transforming the self and society., Febos combines personal, cultural, investigative, and scholarly passages to ferociously dissect the lessons that shaped her, and the result is a book that fills the educational void she'd noticed . . . A guide for women to redefine themselves., Anyone who has ever been a girl or a woman will recognize the patterns Febos uncovers: the unwanted touch, the expectations of our bodies, the way we become complicit in the traps laid out for us along the way by the patriarchal structures that govern so many of our social, professional, and interpersonal spheres... By following Febos's distinct paths between the past and present, we might realize there's room to forge our own, and that we've just been handed a flashlight that helps illuminate the way., A gorgeously written, perfectly calibrated investigation into the traps, paths, and challenges of being female in this world. It's a stunner of a book.
