Book ~ "She's Shameless: Women Write About Growing Up, Rocking Out, and Fighting Back" (2009) Stacey May Fowles and Megan Griffith-Greene

From Amazon ~ Co-editors Megan Griffith-Greene and Stacey May Fowles have compiled an anthology of fearless and funny non-fiction about strong, smart and shameless young women. With wit and honesty, the writers share stories of their teen experiences (both positive and negative) on everything from pop culture to high school principals.The book is founded on Shameless magazine's tradition of smart, sassy, honest and inclusive writing, and reaches out to young female readers who are often ignored by mainstream: freethinkers, queer youth, young women of colour, punk rockers, feminists, intellectuals, artists, and activists.

I hadn't heard of Shameless until I read the book.

It's a fast read ... the stories are only a couple pages.

Most of the stories are interesting.
