Description
The Girl is a familiar figure in our culture. She's often idealised, degraded, dismissed, objectified and dehumanised. In "You Play The Girl", Carina Chocano explores how these portrayals shape our sense of identity and what we can become. This book is part memoir, cultural commentary and call to arms for women everywhere. It chronicles the experience of growing up inside a funhouse of pop culture over the past thirty-five years. Through her incisive analysis, Chocano shows that our identities are more complex than anything on screen. Chocano's work provides a unique perspective on how we process these insidious portrayals and their impact on our lives.
