House of Books & Friends is ecstatic to welcome Jess Bacon to the store on 15th June at 6pm to discuss their book, ‘I’m Just a Girl’: How Reclaiming Girlhood Can Redefine Womanhood.

As well as a discussion on their book, there will also be a Q&A, plus the chance to get your books signed by Jess. The event will be chaired by our bookseller, Brooke.

We are leaning into bringing your ‘girlhood**’ into your current self, so we encourage you to dress in a way that would make younger you proud, and we will be writing notes to our younger selves in the talk!

**’girlhood’ in this sense is gender neutral – what aspects of your youth do you wish to hold onto? What do you think you had to ‘leave behind’ as you entered adulthood?
