What does a teenage girl dream about in Nigeria or New York? How
does she spend her days in Mongolia, the Midwest, and the Middle
East? All around the world, girls are going to school, working,
dreaming up big futures—they are soccer players and surfers,
ballerinas and chess champions. Yet we know so little about their
daily lives. We often hear about challenges and catastrophes in the
news, and about exceptional girls who make headlines. But even
though the health, education, and success of girls so often
determines the future of a community, we don’t know more about
what life is like for the ordinary girls, the ones living outside
the headlines. From the Americas to Europe to Africa to Asia to the
South Pacific, the thirty teens from twenty-seven countries in
Girlhood share their own stories of growing up through diary
entries and photographs, and the girls’ stories are put in
context with reporting and research that helps us understand the
circumstances and communities they live in. This full-color,
exuberantly designed volume is a portrait of ordinary girlhood
around the world, and of the world, as seen through girls’ eyes.
