Quick question

[marshtide]

Babel (a Swedish literature TV show which is the only thing we try to remember to watch right now) is talking about books about young men who are NEET. Val asks: are there books being written about women in that sort of outsider position too? Have there been books written? I second the question. We are assuming they exist, but we don't know what they are, and if we've heard any names/titles we can't remember them. Apart from Birgitta Stenberg.

Anyway: please help us, internets! Do you know of any?

Huh. That's really interesting, because I fell in that NEET position until just recently, and I haven't heard of any books or anything being written about WOMEN in that position.

Anyway, hi, I'm Erika and I just friended you!

[marshtide]

Yeah. I spent quite some time in that position as well, and am really not coming up with anything much.

Hi! Nice to meet you. :)

What does NEET stand for?

[marshtide]

Oh sorry! It's a term used in some places (definitely widely in the UK and Japan, possibly others) for young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training. Strictly speaking it's people under 25.
