Join one woman on a spiritual journey in, around, and through the church on her way to a deeper connection to Jesus... Andrea Syverson was raised Catholic. As in really Catholic, from plaid jumpers to early-morning Mass to meatless Fridays. And then she did the unthinkable. She fell in love with a non-Catholic man whose questions about her faith she simply couldn't answer. What's a good Catholic girl to do? Frequently whimsical, often profound, always honest, Andrea shares her spiritual journey—one that feels familiar to anyone seeking Jesus. It's a jumbled jaunt from religion to relationship, from going to church to being the church. Whether you love church or are done with it, or you're simply seeking a more authentic relationship with Jesus—Andrea has something to say to you. You’ll enjoy... • A compelling story of Jesus’ relentless pursuit of those who desire to know him. • An upbeat, honest glimpse at how church does—or doesn’t—welcome those who come seeking answers. • Reflective devotions and journaling space at the end that draw you deeper toward your heart of faith. • Inspiration that you, too, can find your way to a deeper, more transforming relationship with Jesus.

For years, Mighty-Girl has been a defender of truth, justice and the American way, but now that she's thirteen, she's starting to grow up and as her body changes so do her priorities. Now she, and her two sidekicks, Electra-Girl and Aqua-Girl not only have to fight bad-guys, this time in the form of Mafia Don Vito DiRusso, and his band of thugs, but their rapidly changing hormones and the fact that they're moving from being young girls to young women, and the latter is proving to be much more formidable than the former.

A playbook for working with and training girls to be activists of their own social movements Drawing from a diverse collection of interviews with women and girl activists, Powered by Girl is both a journalistic exploration of how girls have embraced activism and a guide for adults who want to support their organizing. Here we learn about the intergenerational support behind thirteen-year-old Julia Bluhm when she got Seventeen to go Photoshop free; nineteen-year-old Celeste Montaño, who pressed Google to diversify their Doodles; and sixteen-year-old Yas Necati, who campaigns for better sex education. And we learn what experienced adult activists say about how to scaffold girls’ social-change work. Brown argues that adults shouldn’t encourage girls to “lean in.” Rather, girls should be supported in creating their own movements—disrupting the narrative, developing their own ideas—on their own terms.

The Spice Girls, Tank Girl comicbooks, Sailor Moon, Courtney Love, Grrl Power: do such things really constitute a unique "girl culture?" Catherine Driscoll begins by identifying a genealogy of "girlhood" or "feminine adolescence," and then argues that both "girls" and "culture" as ideas are too problematic to fulfill any useful role in theorizing about the emergence of feminine adolescence in popular culture. She relates the increasing public visibility of girls in western and westernized cultures to the evolution and expansion of theories about feminine adolescence in fields such as psychoanalysis, sociology, anthropology, history, and politics. Presenting her argument as a Foucauldian genealogy, Driscoll discusses the ways in which young women have been involved in the production and consumption of theories and representations of girls, feminine adolescence, and the "girl market."

This book addresses the dilemma created by the discrepancy between our efforts to prevent adolescent pregnancy and our support of adolescent parenthood, which the author argues is America's greatest unrecognized public health crisis. It is the most preventable cause of crime and welfare dependency, and because we hold no expectations for parents who conceive and give birth to children, rates of child neglect and abuse in the United States far exceed those of other developed nations. Westman explores the circumstances and values that make motherhood seem to be girls' best option and that induce males to conceive without the ability to support their children. It proposes a feasible legal procedure as the basis for ensuring that adolescents' babies have competent parents with the resources and environments they need.
