Shoujo ("Show - Joe", with a long "o" sound in "show") is a type of manga. The word "Shoujo" actually means "girl", therefore "shoujo manga" is girl's manga.
Shoujo manga generally has a focus on pretty people and art, with a female main character. They feature lots of cute boys and the plot mostly focuses on some sort of romance. The setting and driving plot of a shoujo can vary alot, being everything from high school drama to fantasy adventure.
A few examples of Shoujo manga:
High School Debut by Kazune Kawahara
Ouran High School Host Club by Bisco Hatori
(and the ever-popular) Fruit's Basket by Natsuki Takaya
Hope that explained it!
