Be A Good Girl | 7


A chat about coming of age in a man’s world. As Rebecca Solnit says, “It gets you even if it doesn’t get you. You have to think every day of your life as a girl and a young woman, if I wear this what will happen? If I go out, what will happen?” and girls and women are getting the message that “this is not your world, this is not your street, this is not your city, this is not your adventure, you are not the protagonist.”
In this hour, Elle and Natalie reflect on growing up female, and unpack the conditioning all girls and women are subjected to.
