Recensione

"This important book should be read by  parents raising children of all ages and of both sexes."  -- New York Times Book  Review.

"This book is to young girls what  Black Beauty is to horses, what Upton  Sinclair's The Jungle was to the  processing of meat. To read School  Girls is to remember -- how reluctantly! -- what  it means to be a girl in junior high." --  Carolyn See, Washington Post Book  World.

"Orenstein's study should be  required reading for all American teachers. And  students. And everyone else. [grade] A." --  Entertainment Weekly.

"School Girls is a fascinating book.  Hopefully it will be read by the right people --  parents and educators who could change the  experience of young girls in the future." --  Los Angeles Times Book Review.

"School Girls cautions those of us  who educate and mold young people to wake up and  see the social and intellectual consequences of  simply letting 'girls be girls' and boys be boys.'"  -- New York Newsday.
