Ã2018., General, HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers Call No: Bio M479b Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Rose McGowan escaped the Children of God as a child, then came of age in another, more visible cult: Hollywood. In a strange world where she was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. She was packaged as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them for profit. Hollywood expected Rose to be cooperative and to stay the path. Instead, she rebelled and asserted her true identity and voice. She reemerged unscripted, courageous, victorious, angry, smart, fierce, unapologetic and controversial. This is her raw, honest, and poignant memoir - a no-holds-barred account of the rise of a millennial icon, fearless activist, and unstoppable force for change who is determined to expose the truth about the entertainment industry, dismantle the concept of fame, shine a light on a multibillion-dollar business built on systemic misogyny, and empower people everywhere to wake up and be brave. Rose McGowan held lead roles in films such as The Doom Generation, Scream, Jawbreaker, and Planet Terror. She is best known to television audiences for her role as Paige Matthews in The supernatural drama series Charmed (2001-2006). Visit the author's website at RoseArmy.com"--Provided by publisher.

Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A vibrant and immersive account of New Orleans' other civil war, at a time when commercialized vice, jazz culture, and endemic crime defined the battlegrounds of the Crescent City.

2016., Orion Books Call No: 305.42 O87g Edition: ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The fiercest new voice of feminism - Emer O'Toole is the perfect mix of Caitlin Moran, Germaine Greer and Lena Dunham.Emer O'Toole once caused a media sensation by growing her body hair and singing 'Get Your Pits Out For The Lads' on national TV. You might think she's crazy - but she has lessons for us all. Protesting against the 'makey-uppy-bulls**t' of gender conditioning, Emer takes us on a hilarious, honest and probing journey through her life - from cross-dressing and head shaving, to pube growing and full-body waxing - exploring the performance of femininity to which we are confined.Funny, provocative and underpinned with rigorous academic intelligence, this book shows us why and how we should all begin gently to break out of gender stereotypes. Read this book, open up your mind and, hopefully, free your body. GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS is a must-read wake-up call for all young women (and men).
