In Girl With Glasses, author Marissa Walsh uses a series of comic essays to explore the routine and extraordinary aspects of living a life with corrected vision.
Being a girl with glasses is not just a style choice or a lack of 20/20 vision.
It has more to do with temperament, personality and how you choose to identify yourself, she says by phone from New York.
Walsh says girls who wear glasses finally are having their moment in the sun.
Jessica Simpson has no qualms being photographed in her specs, and Hollywood bad girl Lindsay Lohan has been spotted sporting nonprescription Miu Miu frames for kicks.
From Tina Fey to Ashley Olsen, girls with glasses (and wannabes) are having a cultural moment, Walsh says.
