The Girls' Guide to Life
Take Charge of Your Personal Life, Your School Time, Your Social Scene, and Much More!
by Catherine Dee
Illustrated by Ali Douglass
In this revised edition of The Girls' Guide to Life: Take Charge of Your Personal Life,
Your School Time, Your Social Scene, and Much More!, Catherine Dee offers support,
information, inspiration and activities to guide teens and help them prepare for adulthood.
Here they can learn to cope with the issues confronting them today. Boosting self-esteem,
dealing with sexual harassment, and becoming politically aware are just a few of the topics
covered in this compendium of activities, poetry and personal experience stories that make
the feminist issues of today come alive.
Girls! You can take on the challenge of being a one-girl revolution and then get your
friends involved. The transition to adulthood is marked with hidden hazards, and Catherine
Dee shares her thoughts to help you navigate them and feel good about yourself.
Here are lists of resources and quick quizzes on relevant topics with extensive source
material; lists of organizations, bibliographies and a comprehensive index presented in a
fun-to-read, illustrated book to help you and your parents.
This book would be a wonderful gift for that adolescent girl on your list. It is
inspiring and helpful without being preachy. |
