The Girl Who Outgrew the World by Zoje Stage
The Girl Who Outgrew the World by Zoje Stage
2022 | Fantasy
When precocious Lilly, an eleven-year-old, undergoes an inexplicable and startling growth spurt, her father and doctors decide to take drastic action to curb what they see as a dangerous development.
Faced with condescending treatment and cruelty, Lilly escapes and embarks on a journey to discover her true self. Zoje Stage’s new novella is a parable for how patriarchy treats the female body (and, by extension, the female mind and soul) and the objectification of girls.
