“Written by two developmental psychologists from the (predominantly) white, middle-class Northeast. Despite their best attempts to address the issues of diverse girls, the book is geared towards middle- and upper-middle-class girls and the cultural pressures they face when shaping their girlhood. Not eloquently written, but it certainly does make one think about gender issues in our society and has made me more conscious of the influence of marketing. Overall, it brings up some interesting points for a fairly limited audience.”
