This is the original Girlosophy reportage book that focuses on girls and young women from around the world. Based on interviews and quotes from real girls, Girlosophy: Real Girls' Stories shines the spotlight on the experiences, thoughts, beliefs, hopes and concerns of girls in our midst as they face the reality of life as young women in the 21st century.
Its about time that girls took a good look at thier own lives, and those of people around them for interest and inspiration, and turn off the deluge of superficial reality tv shows competeing for air time. Not surprisingly, the Real Girls' stories are far more intersting!
