Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls

by Mary Pipher

Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Pipher offers concrete suggestions for ways by which girls can build and maintain a strong sense of self, e.g., keeping a diary, observing their social context as an anthropologist might, distinguishing between thoughts and feelings. Pipher is an eloquent advocate." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Pipher offers some practical suggestions and strategies for parents to help girls into adulthood with their sense of self intact. She also sounds a wake-up call to parents, urging them to become involved in the lives of their daughters and to change the societal pressures that push girls into crisis situations." Library Journal

Review:

"An important book...Pipher shines high-beam headlights on the world of teenage girls." Los Angeles Times

Review:

"Serious and thoughtful material presented with the fluidity of good fiction — sure to appeal to parents, teachers, and anyone interested in modern American culture." Kirkus Reviews

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [295]) and index.
