Ms. Jasmina Dervisevic-Cesic and Dr. Amy Traver discuss how war can produce multiple girlhoods in a single life. Ms. Dervisevic-Cesic reads from and discusses her memoir, The River Runs Salt, Runs Sweet, which documents her experience growing up in Bosnia before and during the civil war. Dr. Traver, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Queensborough Community College, draws on her girl's studies research, as well as her previous position as Co-Chair of the Girl's Studies Caucus of the National Women's Studies Association, to offer commentary and context.
