An excellent resource for teen-age girls!

I was highly impressed by this book and can't wait to use it with my teen-age Girl Scout troop. My daughter (13) picked up the book and read it through. She thought the exercises were interesting, up-to-date and ones that she would like to do herself and with her friends. The situations are very true to the lives of teenagers today and the language is not "preachy" or "fake". I would highly recommend it to any teen-age girl.

Brave New Girls can really build self-esteem and self-confidence. The tone is upbeat and honest, never condescending, and occasionally conspiratorial. Many of the exercises help to see other people's point of view; also included are exercises to help girls value their own opinions. Many of the activities and exercises focus on thinking a problem through, using common sense, and figuring out what kind of person you are. This book suggests all kinds of possibilities for public library programming.
