By closely following five girls and interviewing nearly one hundred more, she takes us inside the Supergirl psyche, explaining the causes of this phenomenon and showing how Supergirls can let their (sleek and shiny) hair down and find some time to relax and enjoy life! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With practical advice, biting humor, and the sensitivity of someone who's been through it all, Funk's \u003ci\u003eSupergirls Speak Out\u003c\/i\u003e is the absolutely necessary companion for any girl who thinks 100 percent just isn't enough.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiz Funk is a freelance writer, political activist, and self-proclaimed supergirl.
