Summary: How To Be A Girl examines exactly what it means to be a girl today. It looks at everything from the everyday niggles and pressures of being a girl, such as body hair (and how to deal with it), judgements made on physical appearance and intelligence, and the double standards that affect girls and who they become. The book deals with everything from the reasons why girls put themselves under enormous pressure to conform to a 'beauty ideal', it raises awareness of the sexualisation of girls in the media and music industries, and issues such as weight and plastic surgery.
