Even though you didn't ask for it...

here's the intro to the Rriot Grrl chapter. Check it out, it's one of my favorites.

Chapter Two
Righteous Rrriot Grrl Reads
Introduction

"I don’t know about you, but if I see one more hot pink cover with silvery embossed letters called something like, “Hot Girl” “It Girl” “Gotta Get It Girl” or “How I Became a 8th Grade Hottie in 10 Easy Steps,” this girl is gonna lose her lunch. Seriously, it was cute when Bridget Jones did it, and when Georgia Nicholson and her thong came along, I was still feeling the chick lit. vibe. But enough already! Publishing marketers have finally figured out what we librarians have known for a long time—girls read. If you’ll allow me a gross generalization, girls tend to read early, they read a lot, and they read fiction. They read what their friends are reading, they read their mom’s Oprah books, and they love to read about relationships—friendships, romances, parent problems—in all their messy, emotional permutations. Publishers are taking advantage of that fact by drowning bookstore shelves in candy-colored, fluffy covers that contain even fluffier stories. Don’t get me wrong, fluff has its place. But when all of these stories begin to run together and I can’t keep Stacy from this clique straight from Cindy in that country club, then I know I’ve hit the chick-lit wall. It’s over, I can’t stomach one more cutesy, clever, sarcastic, knowing, sexy, gossipy, confessional, tell-all, weepy, feel-good, feel-bad girl book. I just can’t. So I’m going to dish up some great girlie reads by smart authors who give the chick-lit genre a little twist and shout, who tell honest stories about girls, their lives and both types of BF’s (boyfriends and best friends) that’s aren’t so cool they’re hot, if you know what I mean. They may have hot pink covers, but it is there the slickness ends. Let’s give girls books that show them standing up for themselves, figuring themselves out, and not taking “no” for an answer. In other words, let’s lose the Gossip Girl, and bring out the RRriot Grrl that secretly lives in the heart of every female teen with these girls-rule reads!"
