MTV Movie Awards - June 5th, 2011

Emma's preface:

'I will preface this da saying - anything that makes navigating being a teenage girl even slightly easier is a godsend. This book is not for the faint-hearted (think lots of swearing, pictures of vaginas and "patriarchy busting"), but frankly I think that might be what we need - a book that unapologetically addresses what teenage girls are really dealing with. Don't understand what your teenage daughter is going through or, even if te do, how to help her tackle it? This is the book for te and for her. So necessary. SO timely. Thorough. Straightforward. Well researched....

Emma recommended a few other things:

Ok Team!

First thing's first, The Color Purple. I read it in two sittings and am now telling EVERYONE I know to watch the film too....

I didn't know what to expect when I started this Book Club. To have 100k members in less than a mese is amazing and for this I am so grateful but even più amazing is the level at which I see these topics being engaged with and discussed and how generous people are being with their responses and insights into the material. This is what is meaningful to me. Then più recently to look on Instagram and literally see people from all over the world coming together to discuss these issues in groups, over Skype, in person, mothers and daughters, friends, selfies, pictures of Gatti and dogs...
