Almost what is written is true. It's the social perspective of society towards women in general. Had expected great colour schemes but it seems dull to me. But the content is mature and informative.

A quick little read. While I was hoping for something a little more poetic in nature, I enjoyed the illustrations and comprehensive list of girls issues. I could see this being used in schools as a jumping off point for women & gender studies class.

What Makes Girls Sick and Tired is a wonderfully illustrated depiction of the issues and struggles that effect women daily. De Peslouan highlights a plethora of issues but only gives the slimmest of details. I do wish this book had been longer and delved in a bit more into each of these important topics. What we do get however may encourage its readers to explore these topics further. If a sequel were made that explored these topics further I would be incredibly excited to read that.

Yes, girls are sick and tired of being grouped into one category, and defined by everything in the world but ourselves.
I love this spirited roar of individuality but also inclusion. Yay.
Loved the artwork. REAL FEMALES.
An excellent book to put into my students' hands. Girls are way more than sugar and spice~

Cute art and aesthetic. Talking points are important but the formats are pretty basic and might really only appeal to the younger end of the young adult age bracket.

A simple, yet great way to start a conversation on the problems that women face on a daily basis. I liked that the author included a myriad of different issues, but I wish there was a little more depth to it. This book seems like a stepping stone to a longer, more detailed conversation.

Thank you NetGalley and Second Story Press for this DRC.

"Girls are less sick and tired when they are encouraging, supportive, and united in solidarity with one another. It's the best part of feminism."

I think everyone can be included and encouraged to read this book, not just girls.
How wonderful that books like this are being released to create questions, discussions and movements in a forward direction. I think this is a fantastic read for all teens and adults alike!
There is of course more that could be addressed in here, but I;m hoping this will open the door for more...maybe a series?

I loved this. It’s short, illustrated, and doesn’t take its sweet time to get the point across. Instead, it plasters the point across every page with demand. I loved that this was so inclusive to all women, because we really don’t need anymore exclusion in this movement. I think that there were of course some missed opportunities in here (which accounts for why I didn’t give this a perfect 5 stars), but I think that with a short graphic novel, it would be practically impossible to please everyone. I personally felt like the book covered a lot of ground and I felt the “sick and tired” in every single page. The illustrations were cute (to me) and I’m happy that I got a chance to check this out. I will 100% recommend this to others looking for reads on feminism.

What Makes Girls Sick and Tired is a short collection of reasons why all women are "sick and tired" of the way they are treated. I completely understand what the author and illustrator of this short were attempting to accomplish, but it all fell flat for me. I honestly think the illustrations in this are to die for and they were really inclusive in my opinion, but I understand that an extremely simplistic style may not be for everyone. I gave this three stars because I enjoy the subject matter, but the writing style was sooo elementary to me. If the subject wasn't as intense I would have taken this for a children's book. Honestly, I actually think it would be better as such. Anyone above the age of a preteen completely understands why women are tired. I think this would carry out better a middle grade-preteen short to teach those younger about the fight for feminism among all different types of women.

Overall, as a woman myself, I just felt like this was sooo bland and obvious. Either make it a bit less intense, offer solutions, and then publish it as a middle grade book or bring some new insight to the table and make it even more YA-adult. I thought it was beautiful and the point was well received, but I didn't learn or gain anything. It was just a reminder of all the shit women go through, which I don't particularly think we needed. WE BEEN KNOWN.

Though a very quick read, this book covered quite a few of the injustices of being a woman. It was very powerful and inspiring. I’m sick of the same things and it feels so refreshing to share that with the author.

What Makes Girls Sick and Tired by Lucile De Pesloüan is a short an minimalist styled graphic novel about all the issues girls of all walks of life are sick.

It simplifies issues such as body autonomy, rape, wage gap, and the "pink tax," which is the extra price we pay for the same things men use.

I think that this book would be great as a conversation starter because it does not go into any great details on any of the subjects it brings up. Each page opens the floor for an expression of feelings and questions. If a topic hits a nerve they would have to do further research because you will not find anything of depth in this book about the patriarchy or misogyny.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me access. I would recommend this to anyone that whats to have these hard conversations with not only girls but boys as well.

I gave it a 3 because i loved the message but not so much the flat illustrations.
Easy to read.
I received an ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A short, illustrated book that highlights some of the issues that girls and women are sick of.

The problems are familiar. I did have an instinctual response to a few of the problems that caused emotional reactions. One page might make me snicker from relatability, another would make me want to cry. It isn’t an uplifting read.

My biggest complaint is how short this was. The illustrations are cute, but not so complex that it couldn’t have been expanded to include an even broader range of things girls are sick and tired of.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an unbiased review.

"What make girls sick and tired" is a ñittle resume abut why feminist is important for women. Try to point in the most concise way the main points of feminist today. This book have a few mistakes, not exactly in th info but how this is interpreted (the wage gap has many more edges than those presented here, and their calculation considers them) but overall is a good start about wonen issue.

This book is a short but powerful collection of things that are somehow STILL happening to girls and women in our society. I really liked that it was simply written and illustrated - got the message across rather well. I hope this creates some great discussions about women, women's rights and how we all can contribute to the change in the world.

A short simple, accounting of legitimate concerns that girls/women might/often feel/experience......accompanied by simple, appropriate drawings/illustrations that are done in a couple of hues of blue. It's purpose is to stimulate conversation, & it might do that. As a female, I agree with the sentiments offered.
I received this e-galley from Second Story Press & NetGalley, in order to read & offer my own honest review of it. All opinions are my own.

This is really good and I feel like everyone needs to read this! (further review through goodreads link)

This graphic novel was a really fast read, I could have taken a lot more of it. It is not a story but more of a manifesto to feminism. All pages start with the statements Girls are sick and tired because... followed by an enunciation of a frustrating sexist fact.
I enjoyed this graphic novel in part because the authors did not have the pretension to have the answers but merely stating what a lot of woman face every day or will face at least once in their lives. In this case the message comes first but I still found the artwork was very enjoyable.

With a unique art style, the author/illustrator of this graphic novel highlights the inequalities faced by women. The feminist manifesto examines inequality through an intersectional lens, acknowledging factors of race, gender, and sexuality on the impact women experience.

The artwork is beautiful, depicting a variety of body type. This depressing subject is express with a hint of a wry humor that matches with the art style and makes a difficult topic easier to read about. This book would make a great gift and conversation piece for teens/adults with an interest in feminism.

I breezed through this feminist manifesto! It was a refreshing read with beautiful illustrations. It was quick and to the point. Just what I needed to take on the world!

Thank you, Net Galley.
