The title GIRL UP reveals the truth about the pressures surrounding body image, false representations in the media, the complications around sex and relationships, and the challenges of social media. Through a humorous and bold approach, Laura Bates debunks myths about body image, diet, sex, and advertising.

Girl Up has been described as essential reading for young women and girls, expected to become the guiding text for the next generation, similar to The Beauty Myth and The Feminine Mystique. For many young women, it may be the first book on feminism they read, offering a battle against the misinformation they have experienced since childhood.

With references to society's influence on the female body and sexuality, this book serves as a "useful survival guide" for modern teenage girls, and its powerful, funny lines reinforce the message of self-esteem and empowerment.
