“Great topic, good writing, good book. The authors take a great topic and a wealth of their own academic, professional and personal experience to provide a very sad look at how girls can't be kids anymore. I was alarmed when I saw some of my own poor parenting decisions being written about as "enablers" of bad stereotypes. And I can't quite look at my four year old in a Disney Princesses costume quite the same way. Unlike most other books on these types of social phenomenons, these authors actually provide hope in that they offer "how to" examples of how you can combat the myriad of marketing messages impressed upon our daughters. I recommend this to any smart mom who is trying to raise smart girls.”
