An episode from 10/10/20: A reading from Mary Pipher’s 1994 book, Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls. It is fascinating to see how the internet is nowhere to be found here, and how in the years after the book was published, technology and smartphones have only exacerbated these age-old difficulties. Don’t forget to support Human Voices Wake Us on Substack, where you can also get our newsletter and other extras. You can also support the podcast by ordering any of my books: Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone.
