The journal he kept at that time evolved into his masterwork, Walden, an eloquent expression of a uniquely American philosophy.

"Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.
