Hardback. Condition: New. Throughout the Western world our social fabric is being transformed, leaving few lives untouched. Girls growing up today face huge changes in the organization of family, education, and work.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Finally, there's a children's book for those of us who are parenting on our own. "The Day the Solo Momarch Met the Babyfly," tells the story of becoming a solo parent in a way a child can understand. There are many different families in the world. Each of them unique in their own way. One family isn't less than another simply because they're different. Solo parenting is a beautiful adventure, as you'll experience in the pages of this first book of the series, "The Momarch and the Babyfly."An article that Melody wrote about being a solo parent was featured on the popular online publication Scary Mommy. It received a lot of attention, including from a producer at Good Morning America. It's small steps like these that Melody hopes will help break the stigma attached to being a solo parent. Her goal is to open people's hearts and minds to families of all types and sizes."The Day the Momarch Met the Babyfly" was specially illustrated by the person who made her a solo parent, her son Ayden.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Set against a backdrop of deindustrialisation, rising male unemployment and the feminisation and casualisation of the labour market, Growing Up Girl graphically explores the complexities of gender and class during a period of massive social change. It tells the story of today's 'I can have everything' girls who face unprecedented shifts in the organisation of family, education and work, and yet who continue to struggle with the not always visible but always palpable pressures of wealth, poverty, class and ethnicity.Drawing on data spanning nearly twenty years, the authors of this ground-breaking study provide a sobering antidote to commonplace platitudes about 'girl power' and a feminine future. They reveal the hidden price of middle class girls' apparently effortless achievements - obsessive hard work, guilt and devastating feelings of inadequacy - and they trace how the labour market cruelly sets material limits on the disappointed hopes and ambitions of working class girls.Vividly illustrating their arguments with quotations from the research participants, they show how young women's practices of self-invention are regulated both by unconscious processes and real social and economic constraints. Their insistent conclusion is that class is far from dead. Indeed, it is centrally important to our understanding of what it is to be a young woman in today's complex and challenging world.This important and grippingly written book is essential reading for students and scholars alike in sociology, cultural studies, women's studies, education and psychology. It will also be of interest to anyone else struggling to make sense of the position of women in society today. This book explores the lives of girls who have grown up in the last decades of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, examining the complex ways that wealth and poverty, class and ethnicity are forever changed but terribly present in their experiences and life chances.
