Book Review: What She Said by Deanna Templeton

Deanna Templeton’s book What She Said documents female youth, in both broadly public and intimately private places, in the United States, Russia, Australia, and Europe. The title itself is a reference to “What She Said” a song, by English Rock band The Smiths, about an adolescent girl struggling with depression. It is an appropriate reference; Templeton chronicles not only these girls, but also includes photographs, diary entries, and posters advertising rock bands—The Ramones, Motörhead, and Agent Orange to name a few—whose concerts she attended in her own adolescence.
