From Taylor Swift's The Era's Tour to Barbiemania, this nostalgia for girlhood has become a billion-dollar business, seen in the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, and the 2000s movies (and their long-awaited sequels) we watch on repeat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut at a time when women's rights are being rewritten, this resurgence in girlhood is complicated. Women are caught between a genuine desire to relive the wild freedom, joy and safety found in girlhood, while facing an ever-growing pressure to hold onto their youth. The world demands women continue to look like girls, yet they are rarely given the space to actually be girls. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn I'm Just a Girl, journalist Jess Bacon introduces readers to the 'second girlhood', the extended adolescence that adult women have crafted for themselves as a means to reconnect with the part of themselves they left behind: the girl. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReconnecting with our inner girl is an empowering act of rebellion, allowing us to reclaim what was once taken from us. Jess shows us how our second girlhood offers a return to creativity and play that can ultimately improve our relationships, our mental wellbeing and establish a renewed sense of self. For far too long we have been presented with a false choice between womanhood and girlhood - this book is a celebration of a new way of being where we can fully embrace both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jess Bacon","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51325038100723,"sku":"9780349447025","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780349447025.jpg?v=1789505006","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/im-just-a-girl-jess-bacon-9780349447025","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
