Body Talk a Power Guide for Girls

If your body is tired of being talked at, judged, sneered at, drooled over, silenced or ignored, then this book is for you. It’s time to reclaim your body talk, so that the conversation starts going your way…BODY TALK is about grounding your body power. It’s an anti-loser manual, a way of getting rid of self-hate and a way of moving into your own freedom.’Everyday girls have to live with an intrusive unspoken world that is continuously sizing them up – how they look, feel, rate, sound, what they say, when, to whom – and they deal with it by themselves as best they can. This book recognises that girls are looking for ways to manage and enjoy the media-driven, sex-saturated social world they live in without simply rejecting I, or feeling overwhelmed by it. BODY TALK grounds the ‘new’ commercialised individualism of the Girl Power message through a focus on empowerment and strength for every girl. While many teen books emphasise adolescent physical changes, BODY TALK uniquely examines the social impact of such changes, and the ‘body talk’, both positive and negative, that results.
