We follow our protagonist Beezus B. Murphy as she chronicles her evolving understanding of menstruation, reproduction, and abortion and finds her place in a confusing world. Initially influenced by harmful narratives in pop media such as the "the pregnant teenager" cliche, we watch Beezus's ideas change as her body changes and as she learns more about the intricacies of her family history and her mom's own reproductive experiences. She grows from a confused, out-of-place kid into a self-assured, empathetic, and strong-willed activist teen. As Beezus says, "People shouldn't be shamed for getting or not getting abortions. Young people absorb the information that we gather from our surroundings. Sometimes it's good information and other times it can be harmful. But now I realize abortion is perfectly normal and should be kept safe and legal." Sprinkled with pop culture references, hilariously apt descriptions of unwanted body changes and menstruation like the chapter "Blood, Bath, and Beyond"; and instantly understandable revelations of growing-up, this beautifully illustrated short graphic novel crucially fills a cultural gap around complexities of abortion, pop culture, body changes, and finding out where we fit in"-- $c Provided by publisher 500 $a "A Shout Your Abortion Project." 521 $a Ages 12-18 $b PM Press 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b PM Press 650 10 $a Murphy, Beezus B., 2004 $d 2004- $x -Comic books, strips, etc 650 10 $a Murphy, Beezus B., 2004 $d 2004- $x -Juvenile literature 650 0 $a Abortion $x Comic books, strips, etc $x Comic books, strips, etc 650 0 $a Abortion $x Juvenile literature $x Juvenile literature 650 0 $a Teenage girls $x Comic books, strips, etc $x United States $x Biography $x Comic books, strips, etc 650 0 $a Teenage girls $x Juvenile literature $x United States $x Biography $x Juvenile literature 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $x Comic books, strips, etc $x Comic books, strips, etc 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $x Juvenile literature $x Juvenile literature 650 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921613 650 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 650 7 $a Autobiographical comics. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026229 650 7 $a Nonfiction comics. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026453 650 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026362 650 7 $a Graphic medicine (Comics) $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2018026149 700 1 $a Gill, Tatiana, $e illustrator. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2008022530 941 $a 1 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20230811010119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6248B3D6380C11EE808BC60658ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
