Girlhood 4 Dummies asks the essential question of girlhood: What does it mean to be a girl? Is it braiding each other's hair at 3 AM or our first time buying bras? How did growing up in the early 2000s shape our perception of what it means to be “womanly” to a socially acceptable degree? We invite you to join us for a slumber party. Don't forget to bring pyjamas.
