Book Beginnings: Girl Land

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.

Girl Land by Caitlin Flanagan

"Every woman I've known describes her adolescence as the most psychologically intense period of her life."

I wouldn't disagree with that at all. And because of that, I agree with Ms. Flanagan that we ought to think more about that period and its impact on how we turn out as women.
