Sexism & sensibility : raising empowered, resilient girls in the modern world / Jo-Ann Finkelstein, PhD.
"An invaluable guide to understanding and dismantling sexism for parents trying to raise confident and powerful girls in a culture that often demeans them. We live in a world of mixed messages for women: You can be anything you want to be, but don't expect to be paid equally for it. It's what's inside that counts, but be sure to wax, bleach, and slim down what's outside first. Most parents find it easier to tell girls how strong and equal they are than to talk about how the world can be particularly difficult or scary for them. But when we don't address the challenging or disturbing experiences most girls endure, we contribute to the problem. Jo-Ann Finkelstein, a Harvard-educated psychologist who has worked with girls of all ages for two decades, unpacksthe universal experiences that girls live with and helps parents safeguard and fine-tune their daughters' natural "sexism detectors." An urgently needed resource for proactive parenting, Sexism and Sensibility is an essential tool to help girls make sense of how they will likely be treated in the world before that treatment erodes their self-esteem"-- Provided by publisher.
