She must be intelligent but never a know-it-all. She must be ambitious, if she is clever, but not in a way that shows. She must cook and sew and make do and mend. She must know (but never say) that these skills are, in some fundamental way, flawed and frivolous--feminine. Girls must stay small, even as they grow. Women must show restraint. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd yet. In books, in the landscape of imagination, a girl can run free. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere, with \u003ci\u003eMy Good Bright Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah Moss takes on these rules, these lessons from the fables of girlhood, and uses them to fearlessly investigate the nature of memory, the lure of self-control, the impact of privilege, scarcity, parents, love. Through narratives of women and food, second-wave feminism and postwar puritanism, and her own challenges with a health care system that discounts the experiences of those it ought to serve, Moss seeks truth in the stories we tell ourselves and others. Harm can become power. Attention can become care. A body and a mind, though working hard together, can be at odds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd yet.
