Status: 1
Category: Nonfiction
Description: This book examines the effects of societal pressures on American adolescent girls, and utilizes many case studies from the author\'s experience as a therapist. The book has been described as a \"call to arms\" and highlights the increased levels of sexism and violence that affect young females. Pipher asserts that whilst the feminist movement has aided adult women to become empowered, teenagers have been neglected and require intensive support due to their undeveloped maturity.
