Book Description
Based on the column of the same name that appeared in The Toast, Hey Ladies! is a laugh-out-loud read that follows a fictitious group of eight 20-and-30-something female friends for one year of holidays, summer house rentals, dates, brunches, breakups, and, of course, the planning of a disastrous wedding. This instantly relatable story is told entirely through emails, texts, DMs, and every other form of communication known to man. The women in the book are stand-ins for annoying friends that we all have. There’s Nicole, who’s always broke and tries to pay for things in Forever21 gift cards. There’s Katie, the self-important budding journalist, who thinks a retweet and a byline are the same thing. And there’s Jen, the DIY suburban bride-to-be. With a perfectly pitched sardonic tone, Hey Ladies! will have you cringing and laughing as you recognize your own friends, and even yourself.

Book Description
How do French women maintain such clear complexions? What do you do if you're stuck at a party and you don't know anyone? And do perky, perfect cheerleaders really go on to have happier lives than the rest of us? (The answer will surprise you.) Read on to unravel these and other mysteries of life (and to have a few laughs, too!). Hey Ladies! Tales and Tips for Curious Girls is former MTV star Kennedy's open letter to the teenagers of the world. Having been through any number of major adolescent catastrophes herself, she hopes to save the ladies some of the legwork by passing on the lessons she learned along the way. Using anecdotes from her own life, including the story of her momentous first kiss, she shares her hard-won wisdom on things like how to get along with your mom, feel good about your body, have a successful first date, and avoid embarrassment in the school locker room. As Kennedy says, "Sometimes it takes a manual from a former dork to make the load a little lighter and explain the mysterious worlds of boys, substance abuse, and parental communication." Funny, insightful, and always genuine, Hey Ladies! is essential reading for anyone hoping to survive life as a teenage girl.

Hey, Shorty!

Author: Girls for Gender Equity
Publisher: The Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 1558616705
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 143

Book Description
At every stage of education, sexual harassment is common, and often considered a rite of passage for young people. It’s not unusual for a girl to hear “Hey, Shorty!” on a daily basis, as she walks down the hall or comes into the school yard, followed by a sexual innuendo, insult, come-on, or assault. But when teenagers are asked whether they experience this in their own lives, most of them say it’s not happening. Girls for Gender Equity, a nonprofit organization based in New York City, has developed a model for teens to teach one another about sexual harassment. How do you define it? How does it affect your self-esteem? What do you do in response? Why is it so normalized in schools, and how can we as a society begin to address these causes? Geared toward students, parents, teachers, policy makers, and activists, this book is an excellent model for building awareness and creating change in any community.

Languages : en
Pages : 179

Book Description
In the summer of 2008, Brooklyn elementary school teacher and musician Patrick Shea set two goals for himself-to read Moby-Dick, and to write a song every day for two months. Those two goals quickly merged to become to beginning of the Call Me Ishmael project. Three years later, Shea had written, recorded, and blogged about all 135 chapters of Moby-Dick, plus the epilogue. This book contains the lyrics to all 136 songs from the project. The book also includes an introduction to the project as a whole, and an afterword for each volume of songs, written by the author. "Patrick Shea's songs are deeply insightful responses to Melville's masterpiece. They illuminate the power of Moby-Dick and enrich our experience of that remarkable novel. Shea understands that, at its heart, Moby-Dick is an orchestral work. Its chords resonate throughout Shea's lyrics." --Bill Kelly, President of the CUNY Graduate Center
