Boys can "shoot the sh*t," but girls must act like a lady.
It's just one of the paradoxes that Sarah Whitney Humphrey has noticed since childhood that has always annoyed her. What does "acting like a lady" even mean? Why are we teaching girls, at such a young age, to sit down and be quiet - just because they are female?
In her book Pretty Young: Being Unapologetically Female in a Man's World, Humphrey uses her own experiences, along with stories from other women, to expose the trials and tribulations that young adult women, primarily those in their early twenties, experience every single day.
- Why are women's bodies constantly scrutinized and why is there a gold standard for beauty?
- What paradoxes are present between men & women, and how does it shape each person's perspective of themselves?
- Why is mental health such a taboo subject, and why are women so afraid to ask for help?
With her sarcastic wit and heartbreaking anecdotes, Humphrey doesn't just ask these questions, she unapologetically demands the answers.
