Girls Should be Seen Not Heard Danelle Deonath

The age-old saying that "girls should be seen, not heard" has always carried such oppressive connotations, but in a twist of irony, this collection of poems seeks to undo the silencer and remove the figurative tapes over the mouths of every girl. Follow the author's journey as she joins this struggle; the fight for her voice and the fight for the voiceless. Explore the battles with insecurities, doubts, body image and opposing forces, sympathize with bouts of anxiety and loneliness and discover confidence and courage with each piece, specifically and uniquely designed for this collection.
