In the early teen years, girls are at their most impressionable age with their self identity least formed. They are very affected by messages coming from mainstream media including magazines and movies, and particularly social media via the Internet. Today our focus is this period of time when girls are most influenced by others. The Rise of the Feminine is interested in the journey that we each make as individual girls and women to the point where we wake up and we realise we have power, we have a voice and we can determine our own life path. There comes a point in a girl’s or woman's life when she understands the power she has to influence the world. In this episode of I will be discussing teenage girls and the influences that affect their self-esteem. My guests are Jane Kenyon the founder of Girls Out Loud, Sheila Single Editor in Chief of Honore Magazine, Paris and Kate Byrne, co-founder of Global Girl Media.
