Chick Lit- also referred to as girls or chicken literature- is the type of literature that specifies to describe the everyday life of young women of today, their worries and their typical behaviors. ”

This area of ​​fiction usually deals with the living environment of attractive modern women who actually have everything in (well -situated) life and are still frustrated.

Because they do not quite correspond to the requirements of the common ideal of beauty, because they constantly notice other mistakes in themselves and, above all, because they have not yet succeeded, sometimes until the Methusaleman age of 30, to find the man for life.

In addition to these pitiful women and their equally needy friends, it is actually only about consumption , whoever does not have the latest in-shoes, simply falls out of the social environment (such as the trend brands in the Mystery Thrillers and the vampire novels of the Chick are accommodated, it would be more to be examined).

It is also the type of literature in which women without a man are unhappy, are constantly getting into trouble and actually do not cope with life.

Here you will find a selection of current chick lit:

The name does not want to conceal this in the least, the term chick lit comes from “lit” for literature and the American expression “chick”, which in turn is derived from the Spanish “chica” = “girl”. This is a commonly used term in the United States, it is used for young women and expresses that they are neither valued nor fully taken.

And the way this term specifies, the women in the Chick Lit are also treated: they are the helpless, driven victims of their beauty, their ignorance or their desire, during the novel continuously in stress or danger until they are saved either by “right men” or by romantic and not really dangerous vampires.

Funny! Many modern women say and are decisively reflected on and expressly cool. Accordingly, Chick Lit at Wikipedia is also described as fictional literature that turns to hip young women and girls. "Hip" in the sense of Trendy, chic, trendy, contemporary.

Contemporary?

"Yes, are you still to save?" Ask advanced and intelligent women (and just as men) who catch their supposedly intelligent daughters with these works. "We have had several centuries of emancipation behind us until our society has slowly realized that women really have the same value as men, and they voluntarily read books in which women are not able to cope with life?"

Nevertheless, Chick Lit is sold splendidly, and new TV stations for women are also well received by addressing their future customers with chickens.

There is nothing to say against chickens? Chickens are really funny animals, social and workam and cozy and sometimes extremely imaginative!

Yes, but it is also the proverbial “stupid” chickens that torture each other around one (sometimes very questionable) cock. And it is the chickens that are eaten by the fox if no fence protects them, which do not start a revolution in factory farming, but simply die ...

Is Chick Lit really that bad?

"Not so tragic!" Say many women of today who not only have a satisfactory job, but also a man who, in addition to affection, also gives you respect. And for the money it is not so important that they can grow gray hair through the still unequal payment of the sexes. These women don't get big about Chick Lit either.

Only - you will certainly not read Chick Lit either. Not only because the content of these books sometimes seems to be “far from home”, but also because of the often poor literary quality of these works.

Which does not mean that not under the works that are sold as a chick lit slide wonderfully ironic books. Who are not entitled to change the world literarily, but are really fun as vacation reading.

You only have to be caution when buying: If your girlfriend has just successfully tortured herself through a demanding total edition that was not easy to understand, the quality drop should not be too high, this does not bring any relaxation, but disappointment.
