Dear girl

More about the book

From a celebrated activist and spoken-word performer comes a debut poetry collection that takes readers on an empowering, lyrical journey through being a woman in today's society, exploring issues like suicide, sexual assault, self-image, and healing. Aija Mayrock published her first book, The Survival Guide to Bullying, at just sixteen. A fierce advocate for women, girls, and all youth, Mayrock performs spoken word poetry as part of her activism work and has performed live to an estimated four million people. Dear Girl, her powerful debut poetry collection, includes some of her viral spoken word poems like "Dear Girl," "Dear Sisters," and "The Truth About Being a Girl," as well as many never-before-published pieces. Aija's poetry--fierce, conversational, inspirational--speaks to the pain and the beauty of being a woman in our society today. Dear Girl is a love letter to all women, amplifying Aija's message of understanding, empowerment, and support.
