Description
Rosalind Gill challenges the polarized perspectives surrounding social media and its impact on young women's lives. She argues that the real picture is far more ambivalent, with feelings of connection and anxiety existing side by side.
Through the words of young women themselves, Gill shows how they feel watched all the time, worry about getting things wrong, and struggle to live up to an ideal of perfection while still being 'real'. This book offers a wake-up call for us all.
Also available as an audiobook, Perfect Feeling is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of social media's influence on young women's lives.
