I agree. I think friendship, not necessarily girl power, was the dominant theme. It wasn't one of these books where women were asserting themselves. The story could have just as easily been a bunch of male friends who bond and get together to share a hobby.

Not to mention that referring to a group of grown women as girls gives me hives.

I agree. but I feel sisterhood, friendship and many more make girl power

I think girl power doesn't necessarily fall into a particular age group. it just describes a group of women or young girls who are confident and independentCommMayo wrote: ↑25 Feb 2018, 13:59Not to mention that referring to a group of grown women as girls gives me hives.

I see reasons with you. I also like the fact that you pointed out everything you didn't agree with.lauren1 wrote: ↑25 Feb 2018, 18:48 The ladies of The Reel Sisters were friends not teammates so that rules that option out. Neither fly fishing nor friendship or personal change require bravery (my opinion), just the want-to. Hard work is not a theme or point that jumps out at me either, however, fly fishing, like life requires tenacity and perseverance. I agree that the strongest theme was 'girl power'.

I agree completely with your comment. They were not seeking power or proving they had power. They already were strong. The story was about their sisterhood.

I hear it a lot at work and it bothers me. No one says, "Oh, he is a smart boy" about a man, but they have no problem saying, "Oh, she is a smart girl." Just seems wrong when they are calling a grown woman with a Masters degree who works their ass off and is extremely proficient at their job a girl.Iamsofia wrote: ↑25 Feb 2018, 15:55I think girl power doesn't necessarily fall into a particular age group. it just describes a group of women or young girls who are confident and independent
