SIM Ep 517 Chops 212: Melissa Febos’s Girlhood

Sometimes a book has you nodding along so furiously, you give yourself neck ache. That’s what happened when our Mickey read Girlhood, Melissa Febos’s collection of eight personal essays examining what it means to come as age as a woman and how the hell we stop landing girls with baggage they’ll carry with them for life. Mick chats to Melissa about patriarchy attacks, why it’s so difficult for girls and women to say no, “empty consent”, mums and daughters, and, erm, cuddle parties.
