Items related to Running for Their Lives: Girls, Cultural Identity,...
Girl Power has become the rallying cry for a new generation of girls as they navigate―on their own terms―the perilous yet exhilarating journey from girlhood to adulthood. Though this transformation is often difficult for middle-class white girls growing up in the United States, it is unimaginably more difficult for girls, often in developing countries, who contend with such life-threatening issues as poverty, abuse, and civil war. Indeed, girl power is a luxury these girls can't afford. Consider the young Thai teenage girl who must work in a button factory in order to save some money for her daughter. Think about the poverty-stricken young girl who is raped in rural Pakistan, and whose rapist is never brought to trial. Consider the journey of the African girl who is adopted and brought to the United States, yet discovers that she is not accepted because of her race. These stories and other equally painful sagas will resonate with readers of this collection, whose chapters will give these and other disenfranchised girls a place to speak, a place to express some of the pain, emotional and physical, of their journey through girlhood.

Review:
Stunning and unforgettable. A darkly glittering array of voices. (Rickie Solinger, author of Wake Up Little Susie: Single Pregnancy and Race before Roe v. Wade Wade Wade)
Running for their Lives makes a significant contribution to girls' studies by moving well beyond the field's traditional context of white, middle-class Western female youth and exploring the experiences of girls who are multiply disenfranchised not just by sex and age but also by race, class, ethnicity, and nationality. (Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society)
