Acting Out: Changes for Rebecca
Listen now
Description
A lot of ten-year-old kids wouldn't try to make a movie and participate in a labor strike. But Rebecca isn’t like other ten years olds, and she does both of those things, and more, in her final book. Radicalized by her visit to see family employed at a local factory, Rebecca speaks out about labor conditions. Despite her first directorial debut being a bit of a flop, she also gets the courage to come clean about her desire to be an actor. We talk about these plot points, make plenty of Samantha comparisons, and get into the overall arc of the Rebecca books.    Visit our merch store or support us on Patreon: https://linktr.ee/agirlspod.  We love to hear from you!
