- How to make herself agreeable to everyone : a memoir / by Russell, Cameron,1987-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Scouted by a modeling agent when she was just sixteen years old, Cameron Russell first approached her job with some reservations: She was a precocious and serious student with her sights set on college--not the runway. But it was a job, and modeling seemed to offer young women like herself access to wealth, fame, and influence. Besides, as she was often reminded, "there are a million girls in line" who would eagerly replace her. A ferocious, visceral memoir, How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone chronicles how Russell learned to navigate the dizzying space between physical appearance and interiority, and making money in an often-exploitative system. Being "agreeable" led to more success, more bookings, more opportunities to work with the world's top photographers and biggest brands. As her prominence in fashion grew, Cameron discovered the work of modeling to be deeply isolating and frustrating. Instead of giving her freedom, her job required her to perform the role of compliant femme fatale, in which she found little room for transformation or growth. So she began organizing with her peers, and together they began finding their place in movements for labor rights, climate and racial justice, and brought MeToo to the fashion industry"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Russell, Cameron, 1987-; Clothing trade; Models (Persons); Models (Persons);

- Strega / by Holm, Johanne Lykke,1987-author.; Vogel, Saskia,translator.; translation of:Holm, Johanne Lykke,1987-Strega.English.;
"With toiletries, hairbands, and notebooks in her bag, and at her mother's instruction, a nineteen-year-old girl leaves her parents' home and the seaside town she grew up in. Out the train window, Rafa sees the lit-up mountains and perfect trees-and the Olympic Hotel waiting for her perched above the small village of Strega. There, she and eight other girls receive the stiff black uniforms of seasonal workers and move into their shared dorm. But while they toil constantly to perform their role and prepare the hotel for guests, none arrive. Instead, they contort themselves daily to the expectations of their strict, matronly bosses without clear purpose and, in their spare moments, escape to the herb garden, confide in each other, and quickly find solace together. Finally, the hotel is filled with people for a wild and raucous party, only for one of the girls to disappear. What follows are deeper revelations about the myths we teach young women, what we raise them to expect from the world, and whether a gentler, more beautiful life is possible. In stimulating and uninhibited imagery, Johanne Lykke Holm builds a world laced with the supernatural, filled with the secrecy and potential energy of girls on the cusp of womanhood. An allegory for the societal rites and expectations of women and the violence we too easily allow, Strega builds like a spell that keeps exerting its powers long after reading"--- Subjects: Gothic fiction.; Novels.; Hotels; Missing persons; Young women;
