Girls Used to Wear Polka-Dot Dresses
1 hr. 4 min.
Description
Bright storytelling about accepting yourself and your body; finding your own path; choosing to be yourself and no longer fitting into someone else’s standards. The voice of a generation born at the dawn of the 90s. A fresh look at the problems of feminism, body positivity, marriage, and a woman’s place in this world.
“Before girls wore polka-dot dresses” by Katya Mayorova is a book about what women care about: accepting your own body and living up to standards; love, relationships, and family; career, searching for your own path, and money. We are the generation of girls whose grandmothers and mothers wore polka-dot dresses—we live in a very complicated time when old foundations are breaking and new rules of life are being written.
In this transitional period there is a lot of anxiety, fear, and doubt. We worry about literally everything: how good are our bodies? When will we meet our love? Why is there so little sex—or so much—in our lives? Are we ready for motherhood, and do we even want children? How to earn more? Where to look for inspiration and paths to self-realization?
If you’re scared to answer these questions—don’t be afraid. On this path there’s at least one more woman with you: the plus-size writer Katya Mayorova.
“Before girls wore polka-dot dresses” is a frank, ironic, at times shocking book about what it’s like to be a young woman in the 21st century.
