A Review of Freya India’s 'GIRLS'

I was about halfway through Freya India’s GIRLS®: Generation Z and the Commodification of Everything when I read internet ethnographer and Fairer Disputations’ Featured Author Katherine Dee’s Dispatch review calling it “vapid hand-wringing.” There is indeed a good amount of hand-wringing in the book, but it’s anything but vapid. Rather, it’s a well-documented and spirited account of the more unknown, insidiously damaging effects of rampant social media use among teens and young women.
