Teenage girls today live their life in words--in text and instant messages, on blogs and social network pages. It's how they conduct their friendships and present themselves to the world, but they are also creating a formidable body of personal written work. This generation's unprecedented comfort level with the written word has led to a fearless new American literature. These collected essays offer a key to understanding one of the most mislabeled and underestimated members of society. Here, nearly sixty teenage girls from across the country, representing a diverse spectrum of socioeconomic, political, racial, and religious backgrounds, create a rich portrait of life as a teen girl in America today, revealing the complicated inner lives, humor, hopes, struggles, thrills, and obsessions of this generation.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Teenagers' writings, American. 650 0 $a American essays $y 21st century. 700 1 $a Goldwasser, Amy. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0806/2007027247-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0806/2007027247-d.html 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20090806113132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9656E05E82A811DE820800E8A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LXYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
