3.8/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: We all want everything to be okay. We don't even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay, because most of the time, okay is enough.

This book was a true clusterfuck of emotions. I was engaged from the first moment to the incredibly original concept, the simple but effective writing style and the rich main character. But I feel like with a concept like this they could have taken it to the...more

I think it's perfectly fine if an adult reads YA books and vice versa.
But sometimes, I recognize there's an obvious age limit.
I read The perks of being a wallflower and I really liked it!
It was a really good book and I make no apology for having read this book cause it was amazing!
However, I'm fifteen and sometimes when I was reading this book I felt like I should read this book within a few years.
I don't think it was because of my age, but because of my personality.
So, if you want to read this book, you should know that it includes some unqualified adult content like sex, drugs,alcohol...
Hope this helped!
And if you decide to read the book, enjoy it :)

Ok, after meditating on this story during my yoga class, I am going to knock off a star. The more I think about it, the more it seems to me the message this novel sends is rather wishy-washy.

I appreciate any YA book that explores the subject of female sexuality. And Not That Kind Of Girl conveys the sort-of-feminist message that if a girls has sex, she doesn't automatically become a slut, quite well. I just wish the author didn't choose to deliver this message by making the main female...more

Little Women follows the story of the four March sisters as the navigate society and life. The four sisters showcase a variety of ideas of the female gender, but all are equally accepted and cherished in the story. The story, specially Jo, shows the hardworking, resilient, "I don't need a man" woman, which was a unique perspective at this time.

Although it was originally written to appeal to girls of all ages, times have changed. Children in our generation don't value this novel the same wayAlthough it was originally written to appeal to girls of all ages, times have changed. Children in our generation don't value this novel the same way children did back in the late 19th century. I don't think this is a suitable read for a nine year old. The Little House on the Prairie series is pretty similar and has been proven to be more successful with children (in my experience, at least!) You might have more luck with those books :) ...more (less)

The song's lyrics showcase the stereotypical desires of males versus realistic behaviors of women. Swift directly contradicts the two throughout the song with lyrics, and also with the video; Swift portrays herself as both the "nerdy, lovestruck" girl and the "popular, cheerleader" girl.

This meme takes a pretty serious idea and makes it lighthearted so it is easily comprehensible to the general public. Children are put into gender biases/stereotypes from the moment they are born: girls love/wear pink, boys love/wear blue. This Meme does a great job of looking into is gender is biological or if it is a social construct.

This YouTube clip showcases how an animated show, The Simpsons, decided to discuss gender bias in an extreme, satirical manner. The clip is segmented into "female biases" and "male biases," and focuses in on mannerisms as well as gender stereotyping in education.

This meme is nothing more than a silly way to state a critical idea. Ideally we would simply get rid of gender stereotyping in one fell swoop, however this social justice issue is much more complicated to defeat. Memes, such as this one, are great because it is an entertaining way to view a powerful message without being overwhelming.

This picture book examines one young girl's thoughts about what it would be like to be president. She imagines real life presidential tasks, such as voting, press conferences, selecting the Cabinet, etc. Although her imagination takes her to silly places, it is still greatly inspiring and motivational to see a young girl aspiring to be president, while still keeping in mind some true presidential tasks.
