Book excerpt: "A fun, fast read...it will resonate with readers who dabble in any sort of arts, dark or otherwise." --NPR.org "With a singular and hilariously cutting teen voice, UNDEAD GIRL GANG is sure to be one of the most talked-about YA novels of the year." --BookPage Veronica Mars meets The Craft when a teen girl investigates the suspicious deaths of three classmates and accidentally ends up bringing them back to life to form a hilariously unlikely--and unwilling--vigilante girl gang. Meet teenage Wiccan Mila Flores, who truly could not care less what you think about her Doc Martens, her attitude, or her weight because she knows that, no matter what, her BFF Riley is right by her side. So when Riley and Fairmont Academy mean girls June Phelan-Park and Dayton Nesseth die under suspicious circumstances, Mila refuses to believe everyone's explanation that her BFF was involved in a suicide pact. Instead, armed with a tube of lip gloss and an ancient grimoire, Mila does the unthinkable to uncover the truth: she brings the girls back to life. Unfortunately, Riley, June, and Dayton have no recollection of their murders. But they do have unfinished business to attend to. Now, with only seven days until the spell wears off and the girls return to their graves, Mila must wrangle the distracted group of undead teens and work fast to discover their murderer...before the killer strikes again.
Download or read book Foxfire written by Joyce Carol Oates and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1994-08-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Joyce Carol Oates’s strongest and most unsparing novel yet—an always engrossing, often shocking evocation of female rage, gallantry, and grit. The time is the 1950s. The place is a blue-collar town in upstate New York, where five high school girls join a gang dedicated to pride, power, and vengeance on a world that seems made to denigrate and destroy them. Here is the secret history of a sisterhood of blood, a haven from a world of male oppressors, marked by a liberating fury that burns too hot to last. Above all, it is the story of Legs Sadovsky, with her lean, on-the-edge, icy beauty, whose nerve, muscle, hate, and hurt make her the spark of Foxfire: its guiding spirit, its burning core. At once brutal and lyrical, this is a careening joyride of a novel—charged with outlaw energy and lit by intense emotion. Amid scenes of violence and vengeance lies this novel’s greatest power: the exquisite, astonishing rendering of the bonds that link the Foxfire girls together. Foxfire reaffirms Joyce Carol Oates’s place at the very summit of American writing.
Download or read book 8 Ball Chicks written by Gini Sikes and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1998-01-20 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dismissed by the police as mere adjuncts to or gofers for male gangs, girl gang members are in fact often as emotionally closed off and dangerous as their male counterparts. Carrying razor blades in their mouths and guns in their jackets for defense, they initiate drive-by shootings, carry out car jackings, stomp outsiders who stumble onto or dare to enter the neighborhood, viciously retaliate against other gangs and ferociously guard their home turf. But Sikes also captures the differences that distinguish girl gangs-abortion, teen pregnancy and teen motherhood, endless beatings and the humiliation of being forced to have sex with a lineup of male gangbangers during initiation, haphazardly raising kids in a household of drugs and guns with a part-time boyfriend off gangbanging himself. Veteran journalist Gini Sikes spends a year in the ghettos following the lives of several key gang members in South Central Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Milwaukee. In 8 Ball Chicks, we discover the fear and desperate desire for respect and status that drive girls into gangs in the first place--and the dreams and ambitions that occasionally help them to escape the catch-22 of their existence.

Book excerpt: I have asked several women I know; friends, family, and acquaintances to stand in front of my camera and let me take their portrait. Here's the kicker though -- they have all chosen another women who has either inspired them, given them strength, taught them something valuable, is their hero or icon, et cetera. In each woman's photo, they are using some element, whether it be clothing, make up, hair styling, props, writing things on their bodies with sharpies, whatever they want use to represent that woman. Then because I have to explain damn near everything I do, I have asked them all to write about thos women and themselves. It's meant to symbolize unity but also individuality. It's a connection with each other that we so desperately need right now. We need to cultivate this strong force of women empowerment happening in our society today. Let's keep the movement strong and fierce, like we really all are.The whole concept behind Girl Gang is to inform, inspire, and connect. It started as a way for me to learn more about feminism. Hearing different perspectives about what feminism means and sharing that knowledge with the world. The concept of feminism is greatly askew, so I'll let you know what it means to me.Feminism is truth, equality, freedom, happiness, confidence, and art. It's about ensuring that our world and it's inhabitants are free to be themselves, express themselves, and make their own choices. It's about a timeless act of self-love and acceptance. A new world to some. A world foreign to many. It opened many doors for me when I didn't even see a door in sight. Personally, feminism saved me. It gave me st
